[quote=Anonymous]Seconding the folks above about a lightweight, quality ballance bike. You can get a Strider, Gaurdian, or Woom fairly affordably on FB marketplace- I think I paid around $100 for my son's Woom 1. A heavy, poorly fit bike (or bike-shaped object) will be hard for your kid and make him less likely to enjoy biking.

It would be a good idea to do a  little research on the size of biek for your kid, but I'd caution against the Woom 2 just yet. We just transitioned to pedals and the Woom 2, and I was amazed at how much heavier the Woom 2 is than the 1. It's definitely a bike to learn to pedal on, not a starter balance bike.

I would also just keep giving him opprotunities. Bring the bike along, let him ride for as long or as little as he wants, try again tomorrow.

As another parent said, it could just be your kid. My 3 year old is pretty risk-averse, but he is obsessed with his bike and does not care about falls unless they are pretty serious. Your kid might be very happy riding a trike for now. Trikes delay the transition to real biking, but your kid will being having fun and absolutely no one has given my kid a trophy or early college acceptance because he learned to ride a bike early. And he has jealous eyes for those kids on trikes.
