@hazardwarning When we were very young, (5 kids, aged from 3 to 11) our parents bought a bike at Xmas time.. Just one, a wee little thing with 14" wheels & training wheels. After a week, the training wheels were removed & we were on our own. Each child (except the youngest) received a bike for their birthday that year. The youngest retained the 14-incher.
