I think you misunderstood me. In France they have those bikes for kids without pedals called “draisiennes” (I don’t know what it is in English).

Kids on these bikes have no training wheels and they just “stroll” with them, lift their legs, and get used to manage the balance at speed. My friend’s kids who got used to it like that were able to pedal on their first “real bike” (with pedals) first time, without any training wheels.

It makes the transition *a lot* easier apparently.

training wheels are horrible btw

it’s much better to train kids with “pedal-less” bikes and then graduate them to pedals without training wheels, much easier to adapt to gaining balance etc.
