My first bike was a 40" BMX bike. And I learned to ride it backwards. On fire.With NO wheels.

unless you're the cruelest parent ever

I second this. I read about this in Popular Mechanics, or perhaps Popular Science. One of those geek toy magazines I'm always reading. Anyway, I did it to my 5 year old boy that day. Not even kidding, I had the pedals back on in less than 15 minutes and he was riding without training wheels, no sweat. Within half an hour he was doing little jumps off the curb, etc. Bad ass.

The best training wheel is... well... a training wheel.

> he was trying to funny about the width of the hallway, genius.Then you're both confused. "hallway ... just a bit wider than my arm span" is the perfect width. Obviously, you haven't tried it. If there's room on both sides then it forces you to actually learn to balance and ride. The hallway being the same as the arm width would be like never taking off training wheels, you armchair unicyclist, you.

Actually, the wheels don't act as gyroscopes unless the bike is moving, which is part of what you're trying to help the kid learn to make happen at this stage.

ever rode a motorcycle? I can assure you that you leaning does turn the motorcycle. Try leaning on one of those without moving the handlebars.
