I have a two year old. How much does it cost. Im dreading the day of training wheel removal. Wouldnt it be wise for a bike shop to offer these to rent to help parents with ther children. hmm....

I think that duct taping a broom to the seat is still the most effective way. Even though my dad pushed my down a hill which ends in a culdesac. I ended up hitting the curb at full speed and going OTB onto the front lawn where I was attacked by a dog. He did not tell my mom for a week. But look where I ended up today!

Don't dread it - just make sure he/she is willing to do it.

Bikes already have gyroscopes that keep them upright. They're called WHEELS!

Gyroscopes and wheels don't make people stable.

Just ask this guy.

I think its kind of cool - I never had training wheels since I rode my Big Wheel until there where holes in the front tire. By the time I got my first bike the "Push your kid down a hill" method was in full swing - I smashed my head into a mailbox.

How come that vid didn't have any little kids riding it ?

Kids need faceplants like plants need rain. It's just the way of life. You learn by screwing up. The pushbike dealios seem to be pretty cool for just skipping training wheels all together. Saw a kid this weekend that was 2 that already had the balance down from a pushbike. I'm sure once he gets on a real bike, he will easily be able to ride, as well as throw more tricks than me.
