Recently, I stumbled across this site: http://www.likeabike.co.uk/
The theory is simple, and makes perfect sense to me. I saw how much SS struggled in the early stages of learning because she was dependant on the stabilisers. She kept shifting her hips from one side to the other to steer, this is a hard habit to change.
Seems this method is hugely popular in Europe, and as usual we are lagging behind. The only downside, is that these bikes are quite pricey. Cheaper versions are available, but on the limited reviews I have sourced, it seems you get what you pay for.
Of course, you could always remove the pedals on a cheaper bike too.
I was amazed so few people have seen this. No more stabilisers for us!

About Me
- BFS
- I started this blog whilst MPLST (that’s Domestic Management to you and I) was cooking bambino number 3. It was all a bit of a lark, mostly at her expense – actually, that’s not really changed much come to think of it. Since then though, it’s become more about the children, and with the help of companies like Blurb, we now have great little keepsakes, some of which I do intend to use on 18th birthdays in the future, hence the reason why I started including pictures of the kids a while back. Right now, I am the father of 4 and I have no plans whatsoever to make that 5. MPLST is also coming around to this way of thinking, which can only be good. Of the 4, the eldest is A, she is 8 and lives with her mother and visits every other weekend when I am home. MPLST and I have 3 boys, R who is 5, O who is 3 and C who is just 7 months old. The blog is primarily for family and friends who like to keep in touch with us. Most of all though, it’s just not that serious and it helps keep my head out of my own arse.
