First time on a proper two-wheeler with pedals and without training wheels! (lemmy.one)

No injuries and we even had a couple of good runs where I wasn't holding on. A few more weekends and I think we've got this.

Congrats. I'm working on getting my oldest off training wheels but it is slow going.

Thanks! I remember having a tough time giving up the training wheels when I was a kid, so I decided to try skipping them with my daughter and to start with a pedal-less balance bike. My cousin and her youngest were successful with this route.

Balance bikes are the way to go, my son seems to take an age to learn anything but going from a balance bike to his big-boy bike was surprisingly painless.

He still struggles with starting though :(
