- We don't often think about the process of getting on a bike, but today that's what we're doing. Known as mounting, this skill is likely the first thing you'll learn after figuring out how to balance. Enjoy this two minute discussion on mounting, and let me know which technique you prefer.

normally I throw the bike in the air, then do a double backflip to land on the bike. it takes a little practise but does use the least energy and is also the quickest.
your not funny
@@rohanboogss5740 thanks for the feedback. However you sir are extremely funny, a natural comidian.
@@jxckc351 cheers

Dang, now I'm going to have to try this.
Could you please make a tutorial on how to get off a bike??
Guys im serious please help i have been stuck on this bike for 3 days now
Did u find the answer? I started today this was the first embarassment i came back
HELP I HAD TO GO TO SLEEP ON THE BIKE
Hit the brakes and either jump off or swing your legs over the side. I'm a BMX biker.
Lean to one side and land on your foot. Then just pull your other foot over/hop off.
attempt a backflip
This man just made me self conscious about how I mount my bike while I'm lying in bed at 2AM
5 AM*
This is true C:
I’ll be thinking about this for years.
1 am lol
On a school night
Personally I just don’t get off my bike so no need, I sleep with it, eat with it, you name it.
That's the spirit!
Typical clipless rider.
Nice

Is anyone else thinking what I'm thinking
I know seth's favourite way of dismounting.
It's called OTB
that's what got us here
absolute savage. Get well soon.
true...guess It's not your favourite anymore!
get well soon!
Haha
Marco Epifani lol you made my day
I like the one best, where I almost lose my balance getting my leg up, then getting my pants stuck on the saddle while already starting to roll downhill with all my weight on the bars, coming up to an obstacle and bottoming out my fork before going over the bars with my pants still attached to my saddle before landing flat on my back in my underwear next to a busy street.
auPointX epic
I m with you. Best method to mount a bike. I figured that's why cyclingpants are so tight, but i prefer to light up everybodies day and look halfway decent while doing so, over putting one of these dreadfull things on.
ha! 🤣👌
Yep . . . did that before (minus the falling backwards). . . in the middle of an intersection then just ran with it to the other side, didn't even look back. XD

I put mine right outside my second story window, then jump down on it a 1850s western.
So many people taking the piss here, but really focusing on basics that most people take for granted is actually really important. Excellent breakdown. Not exhaustive, but a wonderful document. Thanks for taking the time for this!
I always had to rent a chopper and parachute on top of my bike, sometimes it's successful and sometimes i miss it so I'd have to redo it. Thank you for this video, it changed my life 🙏🏻😊
1:32 is hilarious. I have to make this my preferred method
nyooom
I accuattly do Mount my bike like that.
Yey
I try to do that too but I’m a little too small for my bike
Yep
I am an old lady, taking up bicycling after many years, but as a kid and young woman I rode a great deal. I am not very stable until I get going, and would live to swing my leg over as I did years ago, but I can't. Thanks for the tutorial. I may try it after I work on my nerve.
You're an inspiration ❤. As a young woman who primarily uses a bike as transportation, I sometimes wonder if I could continue on with it well into old age.
Help, now I don’t how to get off
I'm impressed with the "difficult as possible". Time to start practicing this technique! Thanks for all the videos Seth.
The step and swing was a rite of passage in my neighborhood when we were learning to ride bikes in our younger days.😊
This video feels like one of Seth's original videos from way back when. I love it!
TBH on the poll I selected the 70% method... But, thinking about it now... out on the trail - it depends a lot on the terrain i.e. uphill, flat, downhill, smooth, techy, gnarly, tight etc. Plus, it can be different if riding solo or with a group ^^
I'm thinking 70% the time I use the foot on & swing. The rest of the time, I'll use whatever works best given the situation.
If I am in a smooth open space with a firm footing I do the step and swing but otherwise I "jump" on.
A gentleman never discusses his mounting technique.
Now that's funny.
haha.
lol
Says “bonemaster J” lol. Sorry, couldn’t help but find humor in this....
Savage😂
I've been learning to get on a bike for years, and it turns out this tutorial has been around for 6 years. Tomorrow, I will try it and hope I can get on my 15 years old bike. Thanks, mate.
Thank you so much for this! I just started riding and was at Sedona bike fest last weekend. I felt like such a dork getting off and on. I will practice this move!
You think Seth's Mom Hacks wants to rig up, I don't know, a couple hundred more of those frame bags? It's a beaut!
she’s taking deposits of 3k per bag. It took us a full day to make that thing!
Seems fair. Draft up the paperwork, let's do this.
Seth bike hacks you should do a video with daily mtbr
Hi Diamondback i like your bikes my brother has a release 3 i wish i could have one too
@@jamesnamuragwtf3837 dont beg dor free bikes😂😂
I like to climb over the front handlebars
bro why not just backflip and land on the seat..
i like to go through the frame and then ride my bike
nah, the back handlebars are better for sure
So you don’t detach the front wheel? Am I doing so thing wrong
The wheelie and jump on is my favorite by far, thanks for sharing!
1:33 is my way of getting on, everytime
i actually do that lmao
Actually, i’ve never thought of mounting techniques until now
Nothing beats the feeling of the “step and swing” on a fixed gear. Such a fulfilling step onto the bike!
A true connoisseur swings their legs backwards over the handle bars.
Ah yes, i do it on my daily basis
So I’m nearly 40 years old and haven’t ridden a bike in years since I got in a pretty bad BMX accident. I have been looking into getting into mountain biking but question my ability and fitness since it has been so long. Seeing what a true beginner rider looks like is giving me the confidence to get out on my local trails.
The last one will make you look like a boss
Especially if you wheelie away.
I do the beginner thing or the swing one. Wouldn't call the beginner one unstable though, it gives you plenty of time to mounth the other foot, which is usefull especially when starting in the middle of going uphill. Jumping onto the saddle looks like it might hurt my balls eventually, so no thanks.
I’m new to the riding game and I just want to say thank you for all of the informative videos! I recently visited a local bike shop thinking they were going to help me get more acquainted with my bike and answer a few basic questions I had. Rubber Soul Cycles in Fresno California has thee WORST customer service. Any who your videos have really helped me ride with confidence! All of your tips and tricks are extremely appreciated!
I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH... I JUST TRIED THIS, AND I CAN SOMEHOW START RIDING MY BICYCLE... ! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
From 5 years old I have always used my bike to get to school. ALWAYS lifting the bike up whilst stepping on and then pushing off.
y does seth look so depressed when he does the different techniques 😂
hes got that bmx "too cool to acknowledge my greatness" swagger
Seth. At 75 I am pretty conservative on mounting. I usually lean the bike toward me so I have reduced leg clearance and then roll the outboard petal up to 9 o’clock for a strong push off.
Thanks! I find this information really useful, I learned to ride my bike at my 30s, and by myself, I still have the saddle to low for me height, because I'm scared when trying to get on the bike with the right height. I'm gonna try the one that you said that the majority does.
Thanks for this, I sometimes find I'm facing the wrong way when I get on so all tips appreciated
Nice! Love your videos. It amazes me how you can make the simplest things interesting. Great job. hahaha
Thanks!
Thank you so much. I'm relearning how to ride after a decade, and my toes barely touch the ground. Also, my favorite is the step and swing. It's much easier than what I'd been doing.
I use the various methods shown but the swing method is indeed my most used. This was a fun video!
You dismount your front wheel, hang it on your back, start with a wheelie, and then when you have enough speed... roll your front wheel on the floor... and then catch it with your forks perfectly. That is called perfect mounting. That is how Mr. Colnago wanted us to mount our bikes.
I want likes guys... not bobs and pusay pics.
Utkarsh Signh Maybe you'd get pics if you just could write
Try that with a thru axle
@@fritz6780 ...perhaps.
The hold bike vertical then jump on from the back method will be my method of choice from now on 🤣👌
I never thought i'd see such a video on this channel 😂 keep up the good work Seth!
I'm a beginner with probably less than 24 hours of riding under my belt and I use the "step over the top tube" method. Definitely need to learn the step and swing method, it's so smooth!
Damn, I never thought about this, but I already naturally do your"step on the pedal first method" XD
I feel the need to get this out of my watch history
Even if you delete it, we'll know.
We'll all know...
Congrats on 600,000 subscribers!!!!
I’ve been doing it all wrong. Your way looks like what I need to do. I’m going to teach my kids that way as well. I’m short as well so clearing top tubes has always been questionable. Best 2 minute video I’ve watched in a which.
Seth, you should come to California and ride Mammoth Mountain Bike Park and rate it.
I tried to mount my hard tail with the jump, im to heavy and stiff for that. But it looks great when you do it.
Here in Mexico, the step'n'swing is usually referred to as "de panadero". A panadero is a baker, and some of them cruise around with a bike or trycicle with a huge basket of pastries and sell coffee and stuff. Those guys are hardcore, riding across cities multiple times a day on super heavy vehicles carrying a truckload of delicious pastries they're not allowed to eat xD Anyway, they all use that technique.
I personally tend to do the first one you mentioned, as I usually get on the bike, set up strava or runtastic, put my phone in my backpack and then get going. It's just easier to sit on the bike while doing that than holding it or having to lean it on something and then get it back after starting the gps.
ive been searching for a video like this for so long. thank you
Oh so this is why the poll 🤣
Tomi Saaranen I know right I was wondering why he asked such a random question😂
Colbyruk 72 yeah that's what I thought also
Shit i wasnt part of it :(
obviously the easiest way to mount a bike is to find its balance point then front flip onto the handlebars to get it going and then hop down onto the pedals and seat. (your welcome)
thank you
YOU'RE
Thank you
You're*
I really like that ' Yee-Haw!' mount! Where you rear the bike up like a stallion first then jump the saddle!
Fantastic video on how to mount a bicycle. I've had my bike for 2 years but couldn't figure out how to get on it until now! Please make one about how to sit on a saddle and how to steer left and right next!
What is the frame mounted storage pouch on the release 5c?
I made it custom! Build video will be on Patreon next week
Seth's Bike Hacks oh very cool! I was wondering how it fit in the corner between the top and down tube so perfectly
I thought it was the British one from the top ten video you did a while back
cL1cKBaT3 I think what you’re thinking of is a strap mounted below the water bottle cage.
Mtb Wheelie Nut I’m not sure
Loved the video, so simple

He's gotta make some content with a broken wrist!
Why this sucks compared to his old vids

I am a "climb-over-the-top-tube" guy. I crashed so hard with the "step-and-swing" method when I learned biking as a kid I never dared to try it again.
Will make it my standart method for MTBing though, because it really is better.
I'd love to be able to do the step and swing method, but I'm scared my foot will catch on my rear panniers and I'd end up in a heap on the ground (with squashed sandwiches!). Great video!
Also my favorite way to mount is to do the cardigan! (search it up)
I tried googling it but all I get it is Cardigan Mountain and some off topic books.
Ghost ride my bike, then run and jump onto it
LMAOOOO
yea i tried that but my balls didnt quite care for it to much
Y.S.M.2004 -MINECRAFT VLOGS AND MORE I do the same, Minecraft vlogs and more....
+Zach Zedstar oh yes finally a channel thats perfect for me.
I like jumping on the bike, gets me hyped up.
Also I like the wheelie mount. That's the best.
Watching this made me realize how awkward my mounting technique is. I do a hybrid of the first and last one where I swing my leg over the tube to clear it but land directly on the raised pedal push it down and then get the rest of my body up with the momentum of the movement. Gotta try some different techniques. Haven't ever noticed that.
You inspired me to mountain bike. Thank you also what is a good trail in Southern California thx.
Ive been ridding Sullivan canyon in santa monica alot lately... search for “curtis keene santa monica”. It wont disappoint
Mount Wilson in Altadena: Sam Merrill trail, Sunset Ridge, and El Prieto Canyon. You can do all three on the way down the mountain with great views, scary switchbacks, and crossing back and forth through a stream to cool off once you're down in the canyon. Lot's of fun!
Depends where you are in SoCal. I'm by OC, so there's Santiago Oaks, Laguna Canyon, and Silverado Canyon.
I changed the text so you don’t know what was there before. 😎
Heeeyy same

I'm short too 5'7-8, I do ur golden method, when ur short or diffrent than so called average you learn whole new ways of doing things that "average" would never think of
Greetings from Ecuador. First off thanks for the great videos and tutorials.I do the first method as I am a beginner. Just got my bike a week ago.
Lately, I like to mount my bike by laying next to it on the ground, staring up at the sky, and think about all the hours I've put into my videos so people can post comments that I sound like Ethan from h3h3.
Shameless leech.
Abdelkader Bennaoum I know, right!? That guy has built a career off of sounding like me!
Well played..well played.
@MOHIT UDDIN I hope this was supposed to be ironic.
Try the step and swing technique on a tandem! Lets see how supremely that works...
Or with a toddlerseat mounted on the back....actually witnessed a good friend doing exactly that, 'cause he simply forgot his two year old daughter was sitting in it and he was in a hurry.
@@RhenusFilms well shit
@@daffakianandra147 😂😂😂😂
Love Seth’s bike hacks
Awesome channel Seth! Come over to El Paso Tx to the Franklin mountain trails you’ll have a blast
No one else will admit it, but I will. I am the LAST person to remount my bike...EVERY time. Slow as crap. My right hip is a little stiff from years of pounding golf balls, so that's always slowed me down, but I've never given it much thought. I'm going to have to try the "step and swing" method...or whatever the predominant method was anyway, and see if that helps.
Maybe I'll be the only person who gets anything out of this, but that's fine. I dig it.
I have an idea for a video while you're injured. "How to wash your bike at a spray car wash to get it clean after a muddy ride, without doing damage to it." I've heard conflicting reports from..."Yeah, I do it all the time, I'm just careful not to spray from a close distance, and not to spray directly into any critical components," to..."Never do that, ever." And this has come from long time shop owners, and mechanics, so I truly do wonder if it's a viable way to at least get your bike "mostly" clean while it's still on the rack after a ride, before everything has dried to a crisp.
I have hip and knee issues. I have to mount my bike by leaning it towards me and then swinging my leg over the rear wheel and then the saddle onto the pedal. Same when I dismount but opposite direction.
please make bike tech videos since you cant properly mtb because of your wrist
In the past, I would drop the bike to the side and hoist a leg over. I have been dealing with sciatica for over 10 years, and with the new found e bikes, I want to ride again. The difficulty was test riding bikes. I was trying to do stretching to be able to be a dog pissing on a fire-hydrant. I have limited mobility now because of the inactivity as well as added weight. I think with mounting the bike this way, I can test ride bikes now. Thank you for sharing something that seems simplistic.
I honestly haven't ever thought about it... Now I have to go out and check!
dismount methods, dunno if the wheelie to butt method counts....
You mean simply going into a low gear and then just jumping off as you start the wheelie? If thats what you mean, i am always doing that
Ninja drop is a good way
I am a commuter mostly and I actually do the dorky downtube thing most often. During winter nights there's so much stuff to get ready anyway. Helmet, face cover, gloves, jacket, lights etc. The easiest way to get all that done is to stand over the bike.
I swing my foot over, put it on the pedal and use my other foot to push off (your method described right before describing the method you prefer). If I'm being completely honest, though...I use a curb whenever I can. I'm getting older, and my balance with swinging my legs over the seat just isn't what it used to be. I'm not sure I have ever tried that last method. Maybe I'll give that a go.
I hope your arm is healing well, dude! Stay upright and keep the rubber side down.
-Brian
hope your wrist gets better
BoomoFPV same
Hmm Seth rides clips on the road bike, nice
You mean clipless...
ErebosGR you can call it both :)
clips are the old style toe clips.
saying clipless is least ambigous.
Mountainbiker will get it when you say "clips" as opposed to flats but every other cyclists you will confuse
Goriaas yeah you're right but where I'm from everyone calls them clips :))
Goriaas No
toe clips are toe clips, clipless is a stupid name that should be forgotten.
Toeclipless would make more sense in the literal explanation, but (my generation at least) doesn’t call toe clips “clips”.
Heck, you don’t even clip into toe clips.
You flip the pedal then fricken slip in
Slipless makes more sense than clipless
I must practice more, you make it look so smooth!!
I use the "Step and Swing" since 5 years old... it's the best.👍
How do you do it without falling over though.... My pedal keeps moving around when I place my foot on it. I can't even scoot along the ground without losing balance.
I usually just jump onto my saddle on my xc bike.
im honestly embarrassed to be here :L but I need to know =/
I hadn't rode in 40 yrs, yea it was a must view
I learned wheelies, stoppies, and other small trials/bmx tricks from this channel when you still had about 250k been watching your videos for a while
I take back my poll choice. Backwards hop over the handle bars. I can't believe you didn't cover this one!
Cant do that my Saddle of mountain bike is so high
Hopefully it's not too high. That's not ideal for it to be super-high, unless, of course, you're a pro road biker. Then, you can have it three feet above your handlebars, lol.
I just lower the dropper on my mountain bike and hop on..
Congrats on 600k!
i like the wheelie loop out technique
My method : puts bike onto back wheel jumps on continues riding in a wheelie
I get someone to hold my bike then I get onto the roof of my house I do a triple back flip and land on my bike
It’s takes little to no energy
congrats on 600k!
Lol, I was out riding, trying to figure out what I should do for a video and it hit me, "How to get on a bike." So I went and found a spot and made the video and I'm just about to edit it and I'm thinking, nobody needs this useless information. Then I figured I should check to see if any videos were already posted and long story short, yours is the first to pop up. If it's a good enough topic for you, it's good enough for me.. After all, not to sound all, you know, "that way" it was Seth's bike hacks that inspired me to start my channel in the first place✌️✌️
That was short
dane Hamilton he can’t do much with a broken wrist.
Well even though he has a broken wrist if he is going to put out content it should be better than this
if your going to cry about free content you should start your own channel and make better content first.................................
he should have uprooted those wild grass for views
And sharp
"How to get on a bike" WTF is this lol
Your music choice is superb! Bravo !
I do the one right before your favorite method. Where you lean the bike down to get your foot on the outside pedal, once your foot is on I can easily push off and get going :) just easy for me since I can't swing my legs high from my bulging disk in my back. But I still ride a bike daily to class 3 miles, and weekends go mountain bike on my diamondback hook (thanks to your vids I picked up a used one for $350)
