[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son w a bunch of OT issues tried at 5 - 7 without success. Age 8 nailed it. Age 9 - rides with his baseball backpack to practice. What ever the age - try and get a bike that fits. We started with a crappy hand me down that was really hard to petal (no fun). Next had a bike that was too big - too hard. When we got the right size it made all the difference.[/quote] Same here except I've got 2 kids with some issues and one was highly motivated to learn and the other was not. At age 9, the non-motivated one finally got it. I've also got a 3rd kid that picked it up with no problem at about age 7. She probably could have done it earlier but we were wrapped up with other stuff and couldn't work with her on it. As with reading and potty training, some kids are ready earlier than others. Our kids (even our NT kid) didn't walk until they were 15-18 months so there was no way they were going to be on even a balance bike at that age![/quote]
