We got DD1 a bike when she was almost 3 (with training wheels). Loved it. Could have had one much earlier. Took her training wheels off when shegturned 5 and she rode with ease (probably could have removed them much earlier too). She's getting a new bike for Xmas.

DD2 has been riding a bike with a handle since before 2. Pedals no problem. We'll swap her over to DD1's old bike (with training wheels) at Xmas and shee how she goes. Pedalling will be fine, not so sure about the steering.
