> I didn't even bother with a broomstick for my kids. I just ran along, holding the cargo rack.

Yeah. The story in my family is that my dad decided to teach me how to ride. We drove to a park to do it because our road was too busy. He got the bike out of the car first, and went back to get the broomstick. By the time he was back I was already cycling away from him. Undoubtedly due to all my experience with balance bikes. :)

But possibly to this day I couldn't ride if someone would grab my handlebars and push me for a bit then release them at some point. :D
