Bikes We Like – LIKEaBIKE
29 July, 2008
Perhaps some of you think about ways to involve your family in the hobbies you enjoy. For me, my biggest hobbie/interest/passion outside of my family itself is cycling. So, I often think about how I can go cycling with my family more easily and more often. Enter the LIKEaBIKE.
As yet another option for family transport, the LIKEaBIKE teaches kids as young as two how to ride a “big kid bike.” The LIKEaBIKE sits your child low so his legs reach the ground. This way, junior can push himself around on his own – no need for pedals or training wheels.

Nothing brought out my inner two-year-old (“I want it! I want it!”) as much as this did when I first saw it. Precision German handicraft at its finest. I plan to buy one later this year for my first child and use it for every child after that.

You know, it is amazing how great minds stumble across the same things and have the same reaction. I bought one for my first child, and she loved it. She can balance with the best of them, and it happened really quickly. We did discover something in the process though. She can’t pedal. We had to buy her a tricycle to get her to learn to pedal. The braking will come later. Very cool stuff. I don’t know if they still do, but they had some pretty cool video on their site.
