My son just turned two, and he can't seem to get the hang of pedaling his trike that he got for his birthday. I was just wondering if that's normal, I thought he'd be ready by now! We put him in it and show him how to pedal, push him around, try and coax him, but hmmmm. Maybe he just doesn't have the coordination yet????
That's good to know, lol. He's my first child, and I really don't know what to expect when reaching certain milestones.
Answer
My son just turned 3 in June and he is just now figuring out the whole pedaling thing on his trike that he got for his 2nd birthday. He is just now developing the muscles to push himself and a bike, and the coordination to figure out left, right, left, right. I don't think there is necessarily a deadline for this one, it depends on your child's size, the distance to the pedals, coordination, motivation, etc. A lot of factors. We have a friend of his that is 6 months older and he is already on a bike with training wheels and tearing it up but he is about twice the size of my son! Just keep practicing and don't force it, you want your son to like riding his bike and he will once he figures it out! I've never heard of someone who didn't know how to pedal as an adult! LOL

Do you think MOTORCYCLES/BIKES?
Kase
Do you think 17-19 is too young to learn how to ride a ninja250?
Actually I am a girl...
and everybody keeps leaning on me too get the 250.... What do you think?
Answer
If you were my kid, you would have learned to ride long before this. As to the 250, everyone is pushing it because it is a remarkable little bike. There are guys going on sport rides with the big dogs and running them in Ironbutt events. At the same time, it is small and easy to manage, and quite mild-mannered unless you twist it enough to use all 19,000 revs. A learner bike that you will not outgrow as soon as other 250s, if at all.
The bike for you depends more on your physical stature; it has less to do with riding it than with the ability to manage it in parking lots, in slow traffic, and if you drop it. In fact, the whole concept of outgrowing a bike is ridiculous. If you become a serious motorcyclist, you will own dozens of bikes throughout your life as a rider. You will sell one and buy another not because you out grew one, but because you used it up, or lost interest, or saw something you liked more. You will own more than one motorcycle at a time, perhaps many more.
If the 250 suits you now, buy it. It will do everything you need it to and more. It is not your last bite at the apple.
