But we can't practice in 110+ degree weather. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-teach-your-lo-to-ride-a-bike#post-904044 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 12:39:23 +0000 Andrea 904044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She rides her bike with training wheels at 3. Not sure when we will take the wheels off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-teach-your-lo-to-ride-a-bike#post-904030 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 12:36:32 +0000 sarac 904030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got my daughter a small balance bike for her first birthday, but at 21 months she's still too short for it. I bet she'll pick it up this year, and we'll just move on to a larger bike and trike as she grows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-teach-your-lo-to-ride-a-bike#post-903969 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 12:19:19 +0000 lovehoneybee 903969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure yet, but since DH works in the bicycle industry I'm guessing he'll want to teach E as soon as possible. I don't ride, and I think he's embarrassed by me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-teach-your-lo-to-ride-a-bike#post-903961 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 12:18:12 +0000 T-Mom 903961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started DD on her strider balance bike at 4.5 and wish I had known about it sooner. She almost ready for regular bike though so I plan to give it to DS when he turns 2. I've seen 2 yr olds on the strider who turn into 3 yr old bike riders! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-teach-your-lo-to-ride-a-bike#post-903948 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 12:15:26 +0000 regberadaisy 903948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After Mrs Cowgirl's post I'm thinking balance bike around 3 as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-teach-your-lo-to-ride-a-bike#post-903945 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 12:14:57 +0000 chopsuey 903945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thinking we'll get her a strider when she's 3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-teach-your-lo-to-ride-a-bike#post-903912 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 12:07:23 +0000 mrsjyw 903912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thinking about balance bike around 3! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-teach-your-lo-to-ride-a-bike#post-903908 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 12:07:01 +0000 BoogieBea 903908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: yeah, he was able to pedal on a trike at around 2, when his feet finally reached the pedals. He loved the trike.</p> <p>@Mrs. Twine: my son is not the most adventurous so it took a year for us to convince to try the balance bike at all. I am really shocked that he is able to pick it up so quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-teach-your-lo-to-ride-a-bike#post-903877 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 12:02:16 +0000 Mrs. Twine 903877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ellie was riding a bike with training wheels at age 3, and has been riding a bike with no training wheels since she was almost six (three months shy of her birthday or so). She isn't very physically inclined generally, especially not for that sort of thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-teach-your-lo-to-ride-a-bike#post-903849 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 11:58:18 +0000 T.H.O.U. 903849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! I was hoping to teach her how to pedal soon (probably after she turns 2). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-teach-your-lo-to-ride-a-bike#post-903830 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 11:56:29 +0000 BoogieBea 903830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is almost 4 years old and we finally convinced him to use to his balance bike a few weeks ago. He's been doing so well with it! Maybe by the end of the summer, we can put him on a real bike. I didn't learn to ride a bike until I was an adult. It was the most embarrassing thing. I don't want my kids to have to go through that. </p>
