Gabriel's First Bike

The new thing these days is to give kids a balance bike instead of a bike with training wheels. A balance bike doesn't have pedals. So the child just pushes off with his feet, eventually going fast enough to pick his feet up. The point is that they learn balance, before having to learn to pedal. We got Gabriel a balance bike for his 2nd birthday and he loves it! He is just walking along with it right now, but soon he'll be gliding around. Check out this video we took of his first bike ride.
