[quote=Anonymous]My kids both learned on regular bikes modified to balance bikes. Just take the pedals off his exiting bike. The bike will be the right height and weight. I started my kids on gentle down hill slopes. As the got more confident they picked their feet up earlier or pushed themselves faster. Then we moved into knees up. When they were confidently going down hill, I would tell them to pick their knees up. I wanted them to understand what if would feel like once the pedals were back on. Finally, when they were ready, I put the pedals on and went back up the small slope. They could then easily pedal down the hill. Lastly we moved to a flat surface here I gve the traditional push and my kids were off and biking. Good luck.[/quote]
