Ruby got a big girl bike for Christmas. She loved it. I hated it. Training wheels stink. They gave her a false sense of security. She could ride incredibly fast but had a terrible turning radius. Even being fairly coordinated and tough, she'd tip over, ride into the bushes, etc. I was always worried she was going to end up over a curb or in the street. I totally get why people start with the balance bikes but we missed that opportunity.
I might just be the meanest mommy in the world but I finally solved the problem...by taking off the training wheels and hiding them in the garage. Luckily, Ruby picked it up that day and hasn't looked back.
Now we both love the bike =)
BTW, do you see what I mean about Ruby and N? She learns to ride a bike and the first person she wants to tell is N. It doesn't get any more BFF than that.
