| In terms of two-wheels and pedaling, both my 7yo (training wheels) and 4yo (balance bike) within a few days of each other in March 2020. |

| 7. Plenty of time during the summer of 2020. |

| Kids were 3, almost 4, but I do think it’s fine to take it slow and not rush things if your kid isn’t pushing for it. There is a lot of focus on getting kids to ride early, I think because people are impressed when their children can do things early, but it can be a little scary having a three-year-old who can ride a bike. It depends on your child’s maturity level, but they get going pretty fast and you’ll wanna make sure you’re in a very safe area for riding! |

PP - Also we didn't push it, he was very hesitant before that and happy to use training wheels. Now at 10 he's very confident and zooming all over the neighborhood. |

| 8 and 12. Four hours. 1 hour per day four days in a row with someone I hired. So worth the money. This was during the pandemic and I realized OMG they don't know how to ride a bike. |

6, 4, and 4. We used this bike for all 3. They'd learned to balance first, then I put the pedal on.
It took a week.

| Both kids learned at the age of 6. One had just finished Kindergarten and the other has a summer birthday and learned after 1st grade (just before turning 7). |

3.5 years for pedal bike.
But didn't get confident at swimming until 8. |

| Age 8. 3 weeks. No pedals on a gentle slope parking lot. Then when could balance with no feet on the ground, DC added pedal. Then it was complete. |

| Growing up the neighborhood group of kids taught every younger kid right at the start of the summer before kindergarten. I did that with my kids too for the memories! |
