The other day it was closer to 65 degrees, so we let the kids ride their bikes in the driveway.
Allan's bike came with factory-installed training wheels. Elaine's bike did not. We've bought two different sets of training wheels for her bike, now. The first set would not install securely because where the guards are on her bike's design. The second set, doesn't seem strong enough to hold up to Elaine's weight. I'm sure they are meant for younger kids. When she starts to lean to the side, the training wheel folds up! So she lands on the pavement. After some un-successful laps on her bike, Elaine took Allan's bike for a ride, with no problems.
She shouldn't NEED training wheels for long, if she becomes a better rider. So we had her building her confidence riding Allan's bike because she's very nervous about the balancing-aspect.
