got one of these "balance bikes" for grand daughter. I read about them a few years ago and sure enough time went by and it was time to buy one. although I haven't received a report from kids as to how shes doin with it, its supposed to teach the hardest part of riding which is balance. see the footrests for coasting.

When she outgrows it and doesn't have sibs that could use it, my grand daughter might be old enough to use it!!
I hate to ask, and I'm hoping I'm correct, has she recently partied with the first peoples?

It's hard to tell, but I believe the front fork is on backwards. The tabs where the front axle mount are typically in front of the fork axis, not behind.

Changing it will increase stability a small amount. She looks like she'll be having fun no matter how it's set up!

hey thanks. apparently my son inherited my mechanical skills. hard to believe they trust him to climb cell towers and do stuff. I hope he don't read this. but who cares? he wants my elio when I bite the dust. keit
