“Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of riding a bike.” John F. Kennedy
I grew up in North Yorkshire, in a small village where freedom came on two wheels. My bike gave me independence, the chance to explore, visit friends and discover places I couldn’t reach any other way. As I grew older, it became my route into town, my summer companion and my sense of escape.
Zooming down country lanes during the school holidays, heading out for picnics or seeking new places to explore, that feeling of freedom is something I still hold close. Even now, cycling through London, I’m instantly taken back to those childhood adventures, that same joy, confidence and independence that only riding can bring.
From Scooters to Balance Bikes: Learning Step by Step
And it’s not just me. So many of us have memories tied to bikes, scooters and first rides, moments that shaped how we explored the world. That’s why giving children the chance to ride early is such a gift.
The journey doesn’t have to start with a pedal bike. For many little ones, it begins with a scooter, then a trike, and finally a balance bike, building confidence step by step. There’s no better way to enjoy fresh air, movement and summer days than on a set of wheels.
Starting young helps children develop balance, coordination and confidence, essential skills that stay with them for life.
Why We Love Trybike Balance Bikes
Confidence is the key to learning to ride, which is why we love Trybike. Designed to grow with your child, Trybike offers a safe and supportive way to learn. Children begin on a trike, gaining stability and confidence, before easily converting it into a Trybike balance bike when they’re ready.
Balance bikes encourage children to learn balance naturally, without stabilisers, making the transition to a pedal bike smooth and stress-free. With every glide, wobble and triumph, confidence grows until one day they’re riding freely, ready for their next adventure.
Because learning to ride isn’t just about bikes, it’s about independence, confidence and the freedom to explore.
