My kid used a push bike. When it came time to start pedalling, it took 5 minutes with zero falls. He already knew how to balance and turn (most of the biking skills), it was just a new way to move the bike forward.
Not sure if it helped, but we had a Strider-brand push bike which you can and add pedals to when ready. He was already familiar with that exact bike.
Mine too. But it only happened when he decided it was time to do it. Once he decided, we went out and he was cycling independently by the time we reached the end of the street.
