Our unschooling group has been going on lots of bike rides lately. There are so many great trails around here! Patrick and Liam tried to keep up with their scooters, but realized pretty quickly that they wanted a bike, too. I was a bit late in realizing that they were eating their knees on their trikes! Anyhow, a bunch of people have recommended balance bikes which are bikes without pedals. So instead of using training wheels, the child learns to balance on the bike w/out pedals and graduates to a regular bike much more easily and quickly. We purchased Strider's (www.stridersports.com) and have been really happy with them. I did also just hear about a local company who makes these bikes at www.mykinderbike.com.
