Just listing the number of activities that a child needs to master to ride a bicycle makes you realise why some children find it a difficult skill to acquire: Pedalling, Balancing, Steering, Braking listening and of course plenty of talking. The first bike breaks down the number of activities and gives a more intuitive feedback for the child for moving forward and stopping. The complication of brakes and pedals as well as the false confidence that stabilisers can build are removed and the can build the skills one at a time. In relatively small space of time the child can start to keep up with a walking pace which can be a frustration with the pedal bike method Priced very well in this market, the John crane first bike is good value for money and children always head for them in Bright red bus shop.
