[quote=Anonymous]Somewhere age 6-7 for my first two. They didn’t have balance bikes. They used tricycles, bike with training wheels, then regular bike. It took longer for my more cautious kid, but not at all a PIA and we didn’t have to “do” anything other than give them a bike and a bit of encouragement. Not sure why DC parents sign kids up for classes for this. Starting at 6, we took the training wheels off and would take the bikes to playground with us where there was a small paved track. No pressure, ride if you want or not and go play instead. Give it one try or twenty, again no pressure. Youngest just learned and is 5. She had a balance bike and we just let her have a go at a siblings old bike in the garage. She pretty much learned after about 3 attempts and is now wizzing around the neighborhood. [/quote]
