Does anyone have any tips for teaching my 3 years old to ride a bike?

I thought it would be straight forward really :-/ but evidently not so…

It has of course got stabilisers and is his very first bike. He can push down a pedal once it is at the top of the cycle (As such) but then wants to move it backward to get the same pedal at the top again.

We’ve only practised in the house so far as it’s absolutely horrendous weather here at the moment, but I thought that it would probably help once we get outside and he has a logn stretch to get momentum going…

I’m not sure though…I’ve tried “push forward and down…and now with your other foot”...etc etc. but he’s not getting it yet….so anyway, thought I would ask you lovely people for your advice…
