If you're having trouble getting your child to lose the training wheels, try taking them off and remove the pedals from the bike at the same time. Your child can then use his feet to propel the bike, pushing off "scooter-style." This allows children to practice their balancing skills with the safety net of their own 2 feet. When they can coast comfortably, replace the pedals and watch for that beaming smile of accomplishment. And hey Dad, the best part? No running along beside junior's bike!
Don't forget the bike helmet!
