anything on a bike is risky. as soon as you swing your leg over the seat and ride down the street, your taking a risk.\n\nstunts are even more dangerous. if you want to start doing stunts, start out small than gradually work your way up to the bigger stuff. nobody starts out as a pro.\n\nand be prepared to fall a lot.

i dont know much about bike racing, im assuming you mean cycles and not that bmx stuff. but check out a local track and see if you can find something like a kids club or junior racing club, they sometimes pair you up with an older driver(rider in your case) and you have races. Thing is, bikes and cars are a lot to maintian. hope you can do it, we need more girls out on the tracks!

For road racing, check the local clubs  You may need to drive 4 hours or more to find the tracks that the clubs run at but that's really the place to start.\n\nGet their rule book cause you need to set up a bike to pass tech (safety wire, tape lights, numbers..etc), as well as get the required safety gear (helmet, gloves, leathers, boots).\n\nTake the beginners school which normally happens on part of a Friday and all day Saturday.  If all goes well, he'll have his first race that Sunday.\n\nFrom there you acquire points not just for chapionships but to go to certain levels of experience from Novice to Provisional Expert to Expert to Pro.  It's different from club to club.  At certain point totals or experience levels, he can then run regional events. if he has enough points to become a pro he can then run at the national level.

Always wear an appropriate helmet for cycling, skateboarding, etc.\n\nIf you are under 18, your state may require a helmet.  Check with your local law enforcement agency or bike shop.

You need to supply a bit more detail. What sort of biking? Do you mean cycling or motorbike riding? If cycling, do you mean tips on handling, ride, maintenance, technique, skills, fitness, touring, racing, equipment etc?\n\nA good general book about all aspects of cycling is Richard's Bicycle Book.

It is possible.. Im a guy, but have been riding for 12 years, and have ridden with many girls.  Find a local place that gives riding lessons - we have one hear at a community college, you get to use their bikes, and the instructors are motorcycle cops.  Once you complete the course, they give you a motorcycle endorsement for your drivers license....\nthe biggest problem for most girls when it comes to riding motorcycles is height.  You won't be able to reach on most crotch rockets..without having them lowered you are short..

YOU GO GIRL. Get the bike. MORE SO a HARLEY. I don't know where your from BUT here in MA (USA) they have courses that will teach you EVERYTHING you need to know about riding. They have a beginners course and an advanced course. Completion of the beginners course will provide you with a license to operate the bike as well as 10% discount on your insurance.

Well, you'll want a bicycle. I don't know your money situation, but you can easily spend thousands. I don't recommend that till you know more. But don't get a bike at Wal-Mart or any other "general" store. To really enjoy it, you want a bike that is well-made and fits you properly, and the only place to get that is at a bike shop. \n\nLook for a shop that carries used bikes, along with a big selection of new bikes. \n\nTell them what kind of riding you think you'd like to try, and how much you can spend. They'll show you the options and help you out.  You won't find high pressure sales at a bike shop, these folks are also enthusiasts who just want more people to enjoy the sport.

first you need to join a fitness club and apply for a job.

all this advice you have received so far is a bit skewed and lacking practicality.  first off, if your bike is small enough, you can lower your seat, and take off the pedals.  good pedals require a 15mm wrench to remove, cheap ones a 1/2'' wrench, the one on the non drive side is reverse treaded, ie left is tighter... dropping your saddle and removing the pedals allow you to push around with your feet, and let you instantly put a foot down if you feel scared.  i would push around in a garage or in an empty parking lot, until you get the hang of even being on a bike.  adult training wheels are a bad idea, they train you to let the training wheels balance you, making you more or less rely on something that soon wont be there....

I'm thirteen too and I love biking, you should start races and make bets that you are going to win.

start off from the beginning and do it slowly... have a hack out at just a walk - one day\ngo over trotting poles the next- then a hack out and include trots- keep it slow- get to know each other again.\nstart of slow - build up to bigger things and most importantly just enjoy riding - theres noting worse than riding and not feeling confident..
