Pedal fell off kids bike?




peterngood


We bought a used bike and the left pedal fell off. I bought a package of new pedals and installed the left pedal (backward thread) but it too wore threadbare in a week and fell out. I drilled and tapped the pedal shaft with 8/32 thread added a washer and screw and the screw broke. I do not want to invest in a crank, any ideas please?


Answer
Obviously the crank threads are stripped. Assuming you're too cheap or broke (nuthin wrong with that - it happens) to buy a new crank (not that expensive for a kids bike), you should be able to garbage pick a bike with similar cranks.

How do you teach your kid to pedal riding toys?

We have bought our four year old son a toddler bike with training wheels but he refuses to pedal and only makes a half-heared attempt at it.


Answer
The wheels on most bikes turn when the wheels move. Just put his feet on the pedals and then push him around. He probably doesn't like having to work it himself. But if he sees how fun it can be, he'll probably get motivated and want you to stop pushing him so he can do it himself. Try it on the driveway where it's easier to pedal.
