No more training wheels

Gyrobike has developed the latest product that aids in teaching our little one's to ride bicycles sans training wheels. The wheel comes in 2 sizes to fit bikes for kids from age 3 to about 6. It is rechargable which is fantastic since kids like to ride for long periods of time and can kill a battery easily. The length of time for each charge is pretty good too. Out of the box and on to the bike was so easy and quick - its just a simple wheel change. We purchased our gyrowheel about 4 years ago and are now training our second child on it. The initial ride for both of the children was of fear, "I'm going to fall down!" is what they both said. What gave them some confidence that this wouldn't happen? We turned on the wheel and let go of the bike. It stood on its own for about 15 seconds and then slowly started to tip! This time, we had our son riding on an long ago abandoned track with lots of room to make wide turns and long straight lines. It was an excellent site to see, he had the biggest grin on his face all the way around the track. Within 30 minutes he was riding without training wheels!
