Spoiled by your tricycle? Was your transition from training wheels to “big-kid bike” less than smooth? Eliminate all that unnecessary insecurity, shrink the learning curve, and give your child the time of his or her life with Like-a-Bike.

It’s an ingeniously simple concept - focus on balance then speed without the distraction of pedals. (Like-a-Bike has no pedals.) This is how it works: Kids become comfortable on the saddle, start moving on the Like-a-Bike by walking, and then shift to running while on it. They’re so full of energy, they instinctively begin pushing off, picking up speed, and testing their balance by lifting their feet off the ground for gradually greater distances. As any seasoned cyclist would, kids simply regain balance with their feet if they feel the bike tip.

This method is effective because it gives your child control over the learning process...
