It's Just Like Riding A Bike, Only Easier

Teaching kids to ride a two wheel bike without training wheels can be scary for kids and grown ups alike. Ben Sherratt, an instructor who works with the UK-based cycling organization Sustrans, recommends removing the training wheelsand pedals and teaching kids through a series of balancing and gliding exercises on the pedal less bike. “If they are steady on their feet when running around and they can go upstairs unaided then they should be ready,” he says.
