Taught my 4 year old son how to ride a bike without training wheels. It was a snap using a method suggested by good friend Buzz.
Step 1: Remove Training Wheels
Step 2: Remove Pedals
Step 3: Lower seat
Step 4: Find flat surface with no traffic like a tennis court (while no one is playing tennis)
Step 5: Have kid do the Flinstone action with his feet to start moving, then lift up his feet to begin finding his balance. The kid can't really fall, because his feet are right next to the ground and the pedals aren't in the way.
Step 6: After doing Step 5 for two days, at the end of the second day, put the pedals on.
Step 7: That ought to do it!
