Pooks, they actually sell a bike that adjusts to teach your kid to ride like this which is what I got him for his bday: http://cgi.ebay.com/Kids-Bike-16-Chi...QQcmdZViewItem

My problem is that he doesn't even want to get on this most of the time. If he does feel like getting on it, he doesn't like to pick up his feet and coast (I think that's the fear part). He'll get there eventually - I'm thinking about the trail a bike option - that might make him more comfortable.
