    So, either you have not recently taught a kid to ride a bike or you are just trolling.

    So, I will counter your high ceiling with the low floor plan. The more a person rides a bike tw’s or not the better they will be at riding a bike. The tw’s get you riding more often and logging in the hours.

    You may be right about balance being a skill you develop without tw’s but the hours they will spend failing and falling down discourages the kids then they don’t want to play anymore.

      I think you misunderstood me. In France they have those bikes for kids without pedals called “draisiennes” (I don’t know what it is in English).

      Kids on these bikes have no training wheels and they just “stroll” with them, lift their legs, and get used to manage the balance at speed. My friend’s kids who got used to it like that were able to pedal on their first “real bike” (with pedals) first time, without any training wheels.

      It makes the transition *a lot* easier apparently.
