Up and Down on the balance bike















We were back at the skate park on our balance bike. The wee man has definitely got the balancing down and can coast pretty far on the bike. I have never been so much worried about speed or hills but admiring his technique which I hope holds him in good stead when we consider getting him learning to ride a bicycle. We only go to the skate park at quiet times so he can coast about in the middle and not worry about getting in any of the "big boys" way. When it comes to hills he has always been a bit wary and today he never wanted to even try the ones at the skate park. We had a little chat about taking his time and just putting his feet down when he wanted to stop. He actually did not need too much convincing and he took his time but once he got into a rhythm he started enjoying himself going up and down.

  1. Looks like he's having so much fun! We've opted for the regular bike with trainers for our little one, now I'm wondering if we should've gotten her a balance bike first! #CountryKids.

  2. He looks lovely and steady on that. Considering whether to get my little one a balance bike as I have heard they can help when getting them to ride a bike later on. #CountryKids

  4. Your little man looks like a pro on that bike. My son has a balance bike but he's not had much practise with it. Hopefully this summer.
