Thank you all for the great replies. What an interesting thread. Very true that it seems everybody has used differing methods with the same result.
We actually had a beautiful day here in Houston today (first time in a long time). Lots of kids were out playing.
Got my son on his bike, removed both training wheels and then ran up and down the street with him while holding on to the rear of the seat. I swear I got a much better work out than he did!
Anyway, one of our neighbors was out with his 3 daughters and they were all on their bikes (no training wheels). I asked him if he had any pointers and he basically pulled out a smaller bike from his garage and is letting us borrow it until my son gets the hang of it. Thought that it may be a bit easier to learn on the smaller bike and then switch him back to his bike once he is riding.
Thanks again to all of you and thanks to having great neighbors.
