Riding Bikes

The kids have been riding their Balance Bike for a couple of years now. They go fast and understand balance and steering. So, we decided to let them try regular pedal bikes - no training wheels.

Sweet Daughter loved the idea. She jumped on and tried and within about 10 minutes was riding on her own.

Sweet Son loved the bike. It has a button on the front and if you push it, you hear train sounds. He had little desire to actually ride the bike though. It took a lot of convincing, but once he got on it and tried it took about 15 minutes before he was riding on his own.

 

Did I mention how much we loved those Balance Bikes ? This transition was so easy and fun. They both learned to ride a bike without training wheels at 4 and a half years old. Awesome.

 (Do you think this will tire them out????)
