Best bikes for four-year-olds to help them learn to cycle

Whether you were a wee nipper or well into your twenties before you learned to ride a bike, you probably remember your first experiences on two wheels.

For some, it was wobbling down a caravan camp path in Kent in the ‘80s (that’d be me), having been launched without stabilisers by a parent. For others, it will have been asking a seasoned pal to show us the ropes of navigating London’s terrifying roads, as a grown-up (still me). Cycling is a fantastic way for kids to learn motor skills, stay active, and later develop independence, so it’s a great idea to get them into it at an early age.
