Well, its been about 2 weeks since the kids first took their Runners Bikes outdoors. Gosh they catch on quick. The other day they "paddled" their balance bikes through about a kilometre of trails in our local park. And they didn't want to stop! I was a little skeptical that children as young as 2 would catch on to the balance bikes- but at 27 months you can't stop them.

Runners Bikes
A short time ago, while visiting Nelson, BC, my wife bought a couple of wooden balance bikes for the kids. We knew that they wouldn't be ready for a while, but they had a pink one that we hadn't seen before. Enough said. We tucked them in the basement, intent on bringing them out at Christmas.
At the playground this morning both of these little toddlers surprised me by showing great interest in another little fellas bike- I tried to get them to walk along beside the bike and steer it- nothing doing, they had to try and sit on it.
I have now assembled their bikes and mom and I will have some fun soon.
These wooden bikes seem very popular, and kids sure seem to find their balance with them. This brand came highly recommended to us. http://www.runners-bike.com/
