Kallen's bike has definitely been "gently" used, or rather, the exact opposite. The boy hasn't been off the thing since we got it for his birthday last year and rides, crashes, and slides into and off anything that gets in his way! As a result...his training wheels have been doing very little training, and actually were getting in the way. One was bent up, while the other was bent down...the left one kept coming unbolted, while the right one stayed put, and it was just a sorry looking thing all together. He would ride down the street at an angle, while trying to keep his body upright! Anyways...one of the "big" boys down the street rides a two wheel bike, so Kallen wanted to be just like him. He asked us to take the "little wheels" off his bike so he could ride it like Brandon!
It went pretty well, though after a couple of crashes...he was ready to wait a while to try again! The training wheels went back on, but at their highest setting, and he hardly uses them at all!!! It won't be long before he's ready to try again and this time he'll get it for sure!
Then I compared it to this picture...
