Caroline can BALANCE!

We haven't forgotten our friends at Minot who taught us that we don't need training wheels, and without them kids learn so much faster. The trick is to lower their seat so their feet comfortably touch the ground, then let them ride the bike like a scooter for weeks or more until they're comfortable. They naturally pick up balance without even thinking about it. Then when they're ready, put the pedals on, and no kidding - off they go.
Caroline is only 4 years and 4 months old and look at her go - and she's gotten better quickly in the few days since she learned.
