Any one messes with that bike should lose a finger. That is a treasure that builds urban community.
I’ve known a few small business owners who have done stuff like this after adults complained there was nowhere to lock up their adult bike because a kid bike was occupying the space. Basically the small business owners’ responses were “you’re in shape. There’s a large rack around the corner. Your bike is important to you, but that kids bike is their entire world right now. You can shut the hell up and walk”
And then put up signs like this or that just say “kid bike lock up only.”
Yo, someone stole your pedals
Kids of that age would more-or-less walk while sitting on these. The pedaling comes after balance training (unlike how my generation used tricycles at the same age).
For real though, is it like a lil push bike or something?
Think of it like an open wheel version of the cozy coupe
It’s a real shame people can’t learn to drive properly with them, like riding a bike properly on a push bike.
Yes, it’s called a balance bike and they’re pretty cool. They prepare children for “real” bikes and also help them walk more without getting tired.
Can confirm, works great.
Balance bikes are amazing. My kid rode hers daily to day care and back (half a mile or more). At 3 got a pedal bike with no training wheels. Made some progress day one, next day was literally riding. Has been riding ever since. Never had training wheels.
Balance bikes work on the premise that the hardest part of learning to ride isn’t the pedals. It’s learning how to balance

It goes through the frame, so probably not. If anything it’s an overkill for a bike like that.
Ahhhhh I see the detail I was missing now, thank you.
