[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on the kid and their motivation.  I have five grown kids.  One of mine didn't learn until he was 10!  He was into roller-blading and just didn't care about his bike.  He finally learned on his own in less than an hour.  Another one of my kids was riding a two-wheeler without training wheels at 3.

[b]I don't see why you would need a class.  Parents have been teaching kids to ride bikes since forever. [/b] [/quote]

Agree.  Do we really have classes for bike-riding now??  [/quote]

I get your point, but some kids are resistant, maybe due to fears or lack of motivation. Sometimes kids are more receptive to learning things from someone other than their parent. People who teach classes like this have also worked with a variety of kids and are really good at teaching them. not a big deal. Do what works best for you and your kids.

FWIW.. we had a balance bike and 2 kids who learned to ride insanely early, but I still get that not all kids learn early or are as motivated as my kids were. [/quote]
