Any one messes with that bike should lose a finger. That is a treasure that builds urban community.
I’ve known a few small business owners who have done stuff like this after adults complained there was nowhere to lock up their adult bike because a kid bike was occupying the space. Basically the small business owners’ responses were “you’re in shape. There’s a large rack around the corner. Your bike is important to you, but that kids bike is their entire world right now. You can shut the hell up and walk”
And then put up signs like this or that just say “kid bike lock up only.”
Yo, someone stole your pedals
For real though, is it like a lil push bike or something?
Balance bikes are amazing. My kid rode hers daily to day care and back (half a mile or more). At 3 got a pedal bike with no training wheels. Made some progress day one, next day was literally riding. Has been riding ever since. Never had training wheels.
Balance bikes work on the premise that the hardest part of learning to ride isn’t the pedals. It’s learning how to balance
Yes, it’s called a balance bike and they’re pretty cool. They prepare children for “real” bikes and also help them walk more without getting tired.
Can confirm, works great.
Think of it like an open wheel version of the cozy coupe
It’s a real shame people can’t learn to drive properly with them, like riding a bike properly on a push bike.
That’s not a bike?
Bicycles are called bikes in the US and some other countries.
I assume you come from one of the countries where motorcycles are called bikes?
Bike is short for bicycle. Motorcycles aren’t bikes. Obviously the short form of motorcycle is mike.
Bike is short for Bichael
I think they’re referring to the lack of pedals.
A push bike is a type of bicycle. https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/bikes/kids-bikes/push-bikes
Just realized there aren’t pedals.
If you grew grew a bush into a push bike and cut off all the flowers, it would be a bike with no pedals and no petals.
and if it won a race it would be a bike with no pedals and no petals but with a metal medal
While everything you said is correct, it still has no pedals. I thought we (USA) called these scooters.
It’s a balance bike. I think of scooters as not having a seat.
I completely agree. Unless of course you’re talking about a Vespa… 🫠
This is a bike 🥄
That’s not a bike, that’s a spoon.
Alright, alright, you win.
Heh, I see you’ve played bikey spoony before!
indeed.
The dandy horse, an English nickname for what was first called a Laufmaschine (“running machine” in German), then a vélocipède or draisienne (in French and then English), and then a pedestrian curricle or hobby-horse, or swiftwalker, is a human-powered vehicle that, being the first means of transport to make use of the two-wheeler principle, is regarded as the forerunner of the bicycle.
