Make an important milestone in your child’s life easy and rewarding!

Start them out on a Balance Bike!

 Learning to ride a pedal bike doesn't have to be scary and intimidating!   But for many kids it is and it can take weeks or months to talk kids into giving up the security of their training wheels and start riding like the big kids.   This can all be avoided by starting your child out on a balance bike, also known as a running bike, which has no pedals, sprockets or chains and is propelled by your child walking, running, then gliding on their own with their feet off the ground.

Within a matter of months, a child as young as 2 can master the skills of balance, steering, and coordination on a balance bike, and glide several hundred feet down hill with their feet off the ground.  While children thrive off their new found independence, parents enjoy the convenience of an ultra light bike that is easy to bring to the park or tote around, weighing less than half that of a tricycle and a third of a bike with training wheels.

Buying a Balance Bike for a child who will learn all the skills they will need to ride a pedal bike will take away the need to ever expose them to training wheels.  They will simply not need them.   Most kids who practice on  balance bikes are capable of riding a pedal bike without training wheels by age 4, and sometimes even sooner. 

Learning to ride a Balance Bike gives your child the freedom to learn at their own pace without  pressure to learn to balance immediately like on a pedal bike.   On a balance bike children start off walking the bike forward, then transition to sitting and walking, then sitting and running, and finally gliding and picking their feet off the ground.   This process can take a day or two or a few months depending on the age and readiness of the child.   However, it is a FUN and EASY process and at the same time teaching your child the skills to seamlessly transition to a pedal bike.  

There is nothing like seeing all this in action!  Check out some videos of children ages 2-4 years old riding balance bikes!    The joy you will feel when you see your own child in action on a balance bike will ease any questions you may have had about the extra expense of this transitional bike.  

Give your child the chance to  "ride and shine"
