There is nothing like having your four year old come home and announce that she can now ride a bike. When my daughter made her announcement I had to find out what she was referring to. I soon found out that while she was at her friend’s house she was riding around on her friends balance bike. I had never heard of a balance bike before then. So I went to the Internet to do some research on the matter. I found that these bikes have been around for decades. They have been tremendously popular in Europe. Their popularity is just starting to grow in the United States. As we are starting to learn more about this bike in the United States, in Europe they are designing the tandem bike for your kids to take on a play date.

I found out that a balance bike has many benefits. This makes one wonder why these balance bikes have taken awhile to gain the popularity in the states. The main benefit is that riding the bike provides the rider with better balance and coordination. The rider will be able to go from riding a run bike to directly riding a bike. They will be able to bypass the need to use training wheels. It is like providing your kids with the tools they need to be able to crawl before they walk.

It is a very big deal when your child moves from riding a bike with training wheels to riding a bike without training wheels. It is one the moments that a parent will remember forever. This is also a nerve racking experience for a parent. One of the reason why, is that your child is usually terribly nervous about making this transition. They are afraid they may fall and hurt themselves, or afraid they may not be able to do this. Using a balance bike to prepare for a two wheel bike builds confidence. It will also make the rider my self reliant. You will find that your child cannot wait to switch over to a real bike. There is a real sense of excitement in the air. Part of this confidence comes from being confident in the mechanics of how to operate a two wheel bike.

It is surprising that more parents are not investing in a balance bike. The benefits completely outweigh the cost. By purchasing the bike, you will provide your child with more than just a way to entertain themselves. You will also be supplying them with a sense of confidence that lets them know they can handle everything. You will also be buying a peace of mind for yourself.

I remember when I was growing up, and I wanted to ride bikes with my older bothers. They were all on bikes, and I was one my Big Wheel. I remember coming home and crying because they would leave me in the dust. There was just no way my Big Wheel could keep up with their two wheel bikes. I wanted a big boy bike, but my legs were just too short to even try to get on a bike, even if it did have training wheels. I knew my mom felt bad for me, but at the time there was no way she could solve my problem. Then one day she came home with a new balance bike. She told me that the bike would help me try to keep up with my brothers. At first, I was upset because the bike did not have pedals. What good was it to me, how was I going to be able to keep up with my bothers if I could not use the pedals for speed?

I soon found out that my mom was right. After I stopped pouting over my situation, I let me mom taking me outside to learn how to ride my new bike. I soon found out that the balance bike was extremely fun. All I had to do was sit down, and start walking. I could increase my speed if I decided to run. The next thing I knew I was making my way around the block. I was so excited and was having the time of my life. My mom was excited for me. She was also happy because she was able to see how my self confidence was increasing by the minute. She also knew that when it came time for me to ride a bike, I would be able to take to it very easily. It would be second nature to me.

My mom had heard about this bike from a friend in the similar situation. She used a balance bike to get her son though his little problem. She had learned about it from a cousin she had in Europe. They have been using these balance bikes for years. These bikes a very popular in Europe. They are so popular that they have recently started designing a tandem bike just for your kids to bring on a play date. The kids will love the fact that they will be able to ride around together. The innovative designs will make any kid on the play ground the talk of the town.
