When deciding what would be Maya's birthday present from us we really liked the idea of a bicycle. However, not far into our search, we realized it was near impossible to find one that wasn't 1)princess themed with sparkly pink streamers, or 2)Spiderman themed in black. Being the economical parents that we are, we of course wanted a bike that Fin could also grow into, so a gender neutral one was a must. We then started realizing the difficult task we would face of teaching her how to ride a bike post training wheels sometime in the future. One word: STRESS.
Brett mentioned a balance bike (that we had previously made fun of while in REI). I did not know much about them, but it took one viewing of this video, and I was sold.
It didn't take as long as I anticipated for her to gain confidence and balance. This is Maya only one month later on her balance bike, that she absolutely LOVES!
