Do kids learning on coaster bikes still wipe out?

Oh yeah. My son started on one and used to make a game out of barreling down the driveway into the mailbox post across the street.

Re: the article: he picked up riding a bike with pedals in <5 minutes after a summer of his balance bike.

  • This is reassuring. Thank you. The first cherry crimson-made blemish on a skint knee is a crucial element to the experience.

    I haven’t read the article yet. The question of the wipe out had to be resolved first.

    It sounds like balance bikes make children more confident. I’m all for them if that’s so. They seem true to their name.
