Balance bike Oliver

Oliver doesn't like his balance bike (found on sale a few weeks ago). He doesn't love his balance bike. He lives for his balance bike. If possible he would take it everywhere. We've been on 2-hour long walks with Amelia walking and Oliver riding. Luckily he's trained to patiently wait at the corners - he is very fast. He's experimenting with different techniques, like gliding with legs out or tucked in, spinning around to stop sideways, going down curbs, and attempting to go up curbs.

Here's a short 30 second video taken during a walk last weekend. We were out for 2 hours with a 10-minute break for a quick snack. For some annoying reason when I rotated this it skewed the image, so Oliver looks much shorter and fatter than he really is.

Balance bikes give small kids the feel of a real bike and teach the balance and coordination required to ride one.It's amazing bike.
