My dh has taught all the local children how to ride their bikes over the years.
Our DD2 has said she wants to remove one stabiliser and ride like that for a while until she's ready to remove the other. My DH has said no and says she must remove both at once.
I feel she should learn this way if she wants to and feels comfortable that way as I think she should be in control of how she learns to ride her bike. Also she has SEN and even in school does not learn unless she is in control of what and how she learns.
DH says no. He says that children do not learn to ride a bike when they remove one stabiliser as it defys physics.
I have seen many a child over the years with one stabiliser on their bike but because I can't name them or give specific details of when and where DH does not believe that ANY children have gone round on one stabiliser before. He also believes that once you take both stabilisers off the child has to learn to ride on the path or pavement and NOT grass.
So I am asking did any of your DC ride their bikes on one stabiliser at any time during the process of learning to ride on two wheels? Did it defy the laws of physics and did they come to any harm in doing so.
Or did they go straight from stabilisers to learning on two wheels, which I might add, I believe some children do as well.
