also from the UK... this posting on the GYROBIKE!

the Gyro Bike
an article in the UK

honestly... training wheels may not be the best "training method"
but both my boys survived the archaic process and were riding without training wheels around four years

push bikes and gyro bikes... great ideas
but cost?
so many of these seem like great tools to be shared within the community
so that child could use them to bridge the gap between riding with training wheels and then without
personally.... I think there are more variables to learn to ride a bike than the push bike offers
and with the gyro bike... what do they do before they are ready to learn the balance?

both sound like the training wheel bike needs to remain in the equation

maybe Chito has some answers to this.... his son Velo was doing some Research and Development on the topic!
