Hi We bought our four year old daughter a regular bike but took her pedals off. She spent about three weeks whizzing around on that getting used to steering and the weight and then begged to have the pedals back on. I felt it was too soon but her dad agreed and to my surprise, that was it! We took her to the park and within ten minutes she had the knack. She was initially very wobbly but is now super confident. She is so chuffed that she is one of only a handful of her four year pals who can ride a bike without stabilisers!
