Would you rather your child fall over and get hurt, I remember in 1996 when kids didn't wear bike helmets! I was one of the only ones who did and was bullied,

Why do adults want barbaric games like tag, tree climbing, British bull dog etc back into schools?

Also why do some parents take their kids camping! woods are dirty, and some parents let their kids swim in the sea! what is wrong with the parents!
ew no!

i dont want to get dirty or wet!

Answer
It is better than becoming phobic over getting hurt. It teaches them how to be a team. It teaches them how to lose and also how to win fairly. It builds their self esteem if taught right.

Swimming in the sea and going camping gets kids in touch with nature and provides sounds as well as silence that is good for the soul or if you prefer, it is good for them to relax in an environment that doesn't contain walls.

My kids did it all and they thank me for all of the different experiences they have and as far as school games, they wish they were there for their children to enjoy. I am sorry you cannot see the benefit from these activities. Maybe you should at least try the camping thing. You might like it.

What kid of bike is good for an adult beginner?

I never learned how to ride a two wheeler as a kid just a tricycle.

I've tried the Giant Suede and the Schwinn Town and Country Trike and was looking at the Townie. $500 is about my price range.
By tried I mean I hopped on and sat on it while the saleswoman held the front wheel. The trike I was able to get on an d go obviously =D

Answer
You will have to judge if a three wheeler will meet you needs.

I will tell you how to learn to ride a two wheeler. Buy a low cost Dahon folding bike and get a bike helmet. Drop the seat way down so you can stand up while sitting on the seat. Wear your helmet and long pants. Go to a local park during quiet hours when no one is there. Drop the seat on the Dahon so low that it can be used as a scooter with both of your feet flat on the ground. With helmet on and riding in the soft grass in the park walk around with your weight on the seat and getting the hang of the steering. Don't use the pedals at all and in fact they can even be removed from the bike. When you get too far leaned to one side use the leg on that side to right yourself and start again. This will take most adults about 1-2 weeks of visits to the park to get the hang of it. After a while you will be able to coast and hold your legs off the ground for several seconds before the bike loses speed and leans over. At that point you can try to actually start pedaling.
