Some kids have the balance and physical skills to ride a bike by age 4, and most do by age 6. But each child is different, so wait until your kid seems physically agile enough to handle balancing on a bike. Some kids may take a bit longer to be emotionally ready to teeter along on a bike, and that’s okay as well. Don’t rush or force them; encourage them instead, and start training when the time is right. For most kids around age 5, a bike with 14 to 16 in (36 to 41 cm) wheels is ideal. When they straddle the seat, their feet should be flat on the ground with their legs straight. Training on a bike that’s too big or too small will only delay the process. This may sound a bit strange at first, but taking off the pedals lets kids focus first on balancing on the bike during forward movement. They’ll just push off and stop by using their feet on the ground.  You’ll typically just need a wrench to take the pedals off, but follow the instructions that come with your bike. You can also buy “coasting” or “balance” bikes that come without pedals, but this is typically an unnecessary expense. When you add training wheels, kids learn the components that tend to be easier for them first — pedaling, steering, and braking. But this leaves the hard part — balancing — for them to learn all of a sudden right at the end.  If you work on balancing first, the other elements will seem like a piece of cake later on. If you really prefer to use training wheels, however, try not to use them for more than a week or two. Otherwise, the child will learn riding habits that they’ll have to unlearn to ride without training wheels. Sidewalks and streets offer too many distractions and potential dangers to make ideal training grounds. Instead, look for an empty parking lot on flat ground. A level grass field may seem tempting because it will cushion falls, but grass is usually too difficult for smaller kids to get moving in — either by foot or pedal power. The ground is also much bumpier than a typical parking lot. Choose a helmet that is designed for biking and for a child’s head. It should fit snugly, and there should be no more than 2 finger widths’ distance from the child’s eyebrows to the front brim of the helmet. Also use knee pads and elbow pads designed for kids. Bicycling gloves can help prevent scrapes from falls as well.
