My son and daughter learned to ride without training wheels at 3 years old. It took less than an hour. Most kids have the ability–it’s the parents who are too afraid that their little babies will fall and get hurt. The biggest problem I see are kids on bikes (with training wheels) that are too big for them. Get the right sized bike and they will be riding on two wheels in no time.

I have taught all of my children how to ride a bike using the “self correction” technique. It is very easy and only takes about an hour to teach your kids. I found a web site that explains the technique really well http://www.learntoriderevolution.com
All of my kids love riding a bike and I didn’t have to run along side them for hours and even better no skinned up knees!

my 3 and a half year old has now been riding a bike for two weeks. it was so simple ,he never had any stabilizers on in the first place . simple way is to make sure that they have a walking bike (bike no pedals) at a young age . in a few months they are all ready lifting their feet and rolling everywhere then it is a simple transition to a proper bike ,but make sure it is the same size as there walking one

Take the training wheels and pedals off. Tell them to push along with their feet and try to “glide” by hanging their feet up in the air. When they’re able to do that with ease, put the pedals back on and tell them to rest their feet on the pedals while gliding. They will figure out the rest and you get to look like Mr. Miyagi.
