Balance Bikes

Those with a really good memory will remember that Ben and Ethan got balance bikes for their 3rd birthday. They weren’t tall enough to use them back in May, but they are tall enough now. We got the bikes out 2 weeks ago for another try, and they could reach the ground.

Balance bikes teach you to ride a 2wheeler bike by pushing with your feet on the ground. No pedals, no training wheels…. they teach you balance first, and add the pedals later. Interesting theory!

After one attempt, they could manage to hold the bike upright and walk slowly while sitting on the bike. Both boys had fun, and we will defiantly have some more practice over the summer
