Teach to ride bike not working?

Happens to me as well.

My child Sim was able to hit that milestone by practicing on his own.

This happened to me too. Next time I play a household with a child I'm going to try it in different places to see if there's a certain amount of room needed or something.

I had the same issue, then I tried placing the bike a few squares further away from the house and suddenly it worked (except the kid happily biked up on the foundation of the house.....). Perhaps it is a space-issue?

I'm having this issue too. I have tried in different areas with plenty of space but sadly it's not working for me

Teaching to ride bike is not working for me at all though children can practice on their own and my teens-adult are not even being given the option to ride their bikes only to name it.

Update: The family lives on the Poters Splay lot in Willow Creek. I removed the picnic table and tree from the back yard and just had one kid with one bike in the backyard. There was then enough room for the parent to teach the kid and she has now learned to ride her bike....so I guess you just need a very large amount of room in order to make the biking work!

I think it needs a lot of empty space to work.

I did eventually get to try this again and it worked for me. I played my household on the big lot in Brindleton Bay and was able to get the interaction to work in various parts of the yard. The child did ride through the fence, but it didn't cause route failure. I want to do more experimenting and see just how much room is needed, but I also have a lot of other things going on in that household so we'll see if I have time.

@Icewolf - glad to know I'm not the only one. If you don't mind me asking - Have your Sims been able to hit the learn to bike milestone on their own? I feel like my Sims have been practicing forever with no signs of improvement.
