1. Good video once it got going. The start was unnecessarily slow. Helmets should be encouraged, not seen as a possible choice.
2. Disappointed that a Bicycle ridning instructor wouldn't always promote and teach safety. Helmet is not an option.
3. We purchased this bike from Amazon for our 2 1/2 year old.  By the time he turned 4 he was riding a regular bike without training wheels!  Definitely worth the price!https://www.amazon.com/Strider-Classic-Balance-Months-Years/dp/B00IZXBZQW/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1477059368&sr=8-3&keywords=strider+bike&linkCode=ll1&tag=als12585-20&linkId=2ccc4491ec13d9143abb4e8953926733
4. Why not just use training wheels then remove them once the child is comfortable. So after purchasing this bike, I have to go out and buy another bike....
5. The most important thing to learn is "Countersteering" .Look it up on wiki. At speeds over 15 mph you can feel it more pronounced To Turn left turn the handlebars right. The idea than leaning makes you turn is wrong. When I learned of Countersteering. I was able to stand on the 2 right side pegs on my motor bike and turn left or right. Countersteering is needed on all 2 wheel bikes ,motorized or not.
6. thanks im a 40 year old who stands at 7ft4 this will really help me out getting my first bike, a balance bike.
7. thank you for this viedo
8. An interesting spin on this concept; use a scooter to teach the balance and steering concept. I did this with my son and when I noticed that he could balance the scooter and glide after about 2wks so I decided to see if he could transfer those skills to a bike. Sure enough it worked he was riding at 3 1/2 yrs old. Same worked with is sister she used the scooter for 7 mths them just jumped on a BMX and just started to ride balance and streering long since under control only pedaling to master which took no more than 5 mins. She is 7 1/2 yrs old.
9. I found that the 2 biggest steps towards getting mine riding the bike was "sit sit run run"  Making sure their BUM IS ON THE SEAT  when they run.  If they stand over the bike they learn little to nothing.
   
   Next, IF you help them at all,   always place your hand in the center of their back, just to push gently. (especially up hills)
   this gives them the ability to learn to glide, without having to go down hill and risk losing control.
   
   NEVER touch the seat, NEVER touch the handlebars.
   
   Using the hand in the center of the back, gives them the opportunity to glide longer, to keep moving, and they "feel"  safer with your hand there. even though it does not help them balance.
