Brandy  Plano, Texas

I purchased a Go Glider a few weeks ago.  Our kids had training wheels on their bikes and, due to busy schedules, we got a late start on the business of teaching them to ride without them.  I did a lot of research on the best way to teach them how to ride and I found balance bikes.  The reason that I did so much research is because I never learned to ride a bike myself.  When my sister tried to teach me, the experience was so traumatic that I stopped and never tried again.  I wanted my kids to have a better experience.  So, we bought a Go Glider for my 7, 6 and 6 year olds to share.  My 7 year old has been out 3 times, with no more than 15 minutes on the glider each time.  On her 3rd outing, she was already trying out the pedals on her regular bike.  Amazing!  No bumps, bruises, fear, or stress!  The 6 year olds are taking a little longer, but I’m sure they’ll be there soon after they see the progress their big sister has made.  I only wish that I had discovered glide bikes when the kids were 2 years old.  We never would have wasted our time with training wheels.
