Are some bicycles easier to balance and ride on than others?

What bikes are easier to balance and ride on? Do you think bikes with smaller tires are easier to ride than bikes with bigger tires?|||That is an interesting question. On one hand, bikes with smaller (26" wheels) have a slightly lower center of gravity, therefore are less tippy than a bike with 27" or (700c) wheels. On the other hand, the gyroscopic effect of larger diameter wheels also "holds you up" while you are moving, hence you now see some 29" wheel mountain bikes. BMX bikes have very small wheels for a very low center of gravity for tricks and maneuverability. The bottom line is you can easily ride or balance on a road bike or a mountain bike. The type of bike you choose should be more based on the tupe of riding you plan to do.|||makes no differnce trikes are easy|||A recumbent is harder to balance.|||Not really understand your questions, but..





for me it's not about the tires (I'm not sure what you mean by tires, we usually called it wheels).





For balance, it's not about the wheels. Of course 2 wheels balance more than one wheel bike (bikes for circus), and 3 wheels balanced more than 2 wheels bike, and so on. And for sure, wheels size would be not too big or too small.





But if you are talking about easier to ride on, I think for a begginer cyclist, MTB (Mountain Bikes) model are the easier to handle, better than Road Bike. But, if you think MTB still difficult to ride, you can choose the common bikes which also can be called as 'road bikes', where the different is the purpose. This one usually called as Lifestyle bikes. You could check it (for example) on the Giant brand bikes:

good luck!|||I use to have a bike called a townie which has a low center of gravity. When you stop, your feet are flat on the ground. You can get them with gears or without and are a great beginner bike. They cost from $350 for one with no gears, to about $550 for one with 24 gears.
