When Evie's older (much older) sisters learned to ride a bike, they learned on training wheels. At first, it was pretty simple- they jumped on and blazed around the neighborhood with minimal effort. However, when it came time to take off the extra wheels and ride on without the additional security they provided, things got pretty squirrelly...

Pedaling was simple, learning to balance was not.

So when the time came for Evie to learn to ride, she started with a balance bike instead. 

Instead of pedaling, she propelled herself along the ground quite quickly. Gaining speedy momentum, she intuitively lifted her legs off the ground...And voila! Evie was balancing in real time motion just like she would with a pedal bike! 

Within two weeks, the most complicated part of riding a bike--balancing was a breeze for Evie! She was ready for a regular pedal bike! 

Evie's bike model is 'Schwinn' Fern. It has an adjustable seat that keeps up with her growth and a high end build. It was purchased on sale for $60 at Performance Bike in Laguna Niguel, California (Orange County).

Money Saving Tip- Buy and resell it on Craig's List! Balance bikes are a quick transition tool, so they are a high turn over item! Since it is in essentially perfect condition, Evie's bike will sell for the same price we purchased it for!
