About Run Bikes
Popular in Europe for decades, the benefits of teaching your child to ride with a run bike or what is also known as a balance bike are finally catching on here in the U.S. With a balance bike from RunBikes.com, your son or daughter can skip the training wheels and learn the balance and coordination it takes to ride on his or her own. Kids as young as 2 can get going on a balance bike (though at that age its more of a 'walk bike') since their feet can always touch the ground. A balance bike provides a much more stable feeling than training wheels, plus self-reliance. Balance bikes from renowned companies such as LikeaBike, Skuut, Smart Gear, and Strider Sports teach kids to ride a bike with confidence, preparing them for an exciting future on two wheels.
We learn to crawl before we can walk, and run before we can bike. So why do kids have to leap from tricycles to bicycles without learning how to balance a bike on their own? Bicycles with training wheels are one way, but these can give a child a false confidence when those training wheels come off. Teaching your child to ride a bike with a pedal free wooden bicycle or metal bike introduces balance, steering, and speed control before they push the pedals of their first two-wheeler.
