A small bike without pedals may seem strange at first sight, but what fun for any two to five year old child. A two year old can stroll alongside her parents by pushing the bike with her feet, until the day she suddenly masters the art of balancing on two wheels. While lifting her feet, she rides on saying, “Look what I can do, Mommy!” From that day on, put your jogging shoes on, because you are in for a run trying to keep up with those little legs. A learner’s bike can be as fast as a pedal bike, so make sure your child wears a helmet.
Besides the obvious fact that a child gradually learns the steering and balancing challenges of a real bike, another advantage of a learner’s bike is that can be taken everywhere, not being limited to paved surfaces. An ordinary bike with training wheels often gets struck when a child hits uneven surfaces, leaving the back wheel to spin in the air and the child frustrated. Children can ride a learner’s bike in nature, up and down grassy hills or on dirt paths, wherever their little legs take them without ever getting struck. These bikes are therefore perfect for parents who like to take nature walks, but get deterred from doing so because their child gets tired too quickly. With a learner’s bike, a child can follow you around nature parks and really enjoy himself in the process.
