My daughter is 2 1/2 and yesterday she figured out how to coast on her balance bike.Enlighten me. If you gonna say bikes, we already do. Problem is my youngest is still on a Strider and can be very difficult. He's the one we need to run like a greyhound. We go out for rides and he just loses his mind that my oldest goes in front of him, even though he's on a small, geared mtb. He also goes crazy if I get too far ahead, even if I circle back. It's just really difficult to manage both of them and completely different paces. Plus, even my oldest isn't really good enough yet to ride with my for any appreciable time. We go out and ride, but so far, neither of them loves biking like I do.
