All three of my kids were riding full bikes around 3 years old, having used a balance bike for 12-18 months previous. I don’t think my kids are exceptional - balance bikes work wonders!

Same story here. My kiddo rode her bike at 3 easily, and used a balance bike before that.

Me on the other hand, I had a tough time back when I was a kid on training wheels, only really grokking it at 6 or so.

    This reads like a carbon copy of my experience! When I learned to ride a bike at 6, it was so hard. I had to practice for a long time with my father. These balance bikes really are a game-changer.
