Often, knowing how to ride a bike is what sets "big kids" apart from the little ones. Glide Bikes makes the process of learning a little bit easier. Their Go Glider helps kids learn to balance and steer a bike safely. The balance bike acts as a training bike as it is free of pedals, crank set, chain and training wheels so that children can walk the bicycle with both feet on the ground. Once they master this, they can graduate to running and "gliding" while riding the bicycle. Designed with downhill mountain bike geometry in mind, Glide Bikes have a low speed balance point of less than 2mph—perfect for harm-free learning. The Go Glider is available in red or blue and is built specifically for small children or those with special needs from the age of just 24 months. With the warm weather approaching, now is a great time to teach your tot how to ride a bike safely with the use of Glide Bikes. $129.95; glidebikes.com.
