I learned with a single training wheel on my bike. If I recall my sister had broken the other, and my dad was like "eh, good enough".

Obviously I was very young at the time, but I basically remember I'd initially be balanced on the training wheel which was maybe "too short" so I'd be leaned over to my left as a tricycle, but as I would get up to speed I'd be on just the bicycles wheels.

It didn't take me long to learn. It did take my dad a long while to take it off the bike however.

I'm not an expert but it seems like a decent enough way to learn that doesn't result in too many wipe outs.
