Here is a fantastic first bike for young children (approx 2 - 4yrs) the Netti - My First Bike.

Unlike tri-cycles or conventional bikes with training wheels (which really only teach you how to ride at a 12º lean) the Netti - My First Bike teaches balance.

We first saw these bikes in Europe and noticed how the kids would roll down any small slope and very quickly pick up the balance needed to ride a bike. The best thing about this bike is that when you youngster is big enough for their next bike there'll be no need for training wheels - because the key skill of balance will already be there.

These bikes are European made with sealed bearings and sturdy plywood construction (they are very durable and should last through many generations of first time riders).

Come in to the shop and take a look - you'll be impressed by the quality of this innovative little bike.
