The perfect balance bike

Hip kids 2 in 1 steel balance bike is not only a great looking bike but it's very unique in it's practicality. It can easily be converted from a balance bike to a pedal bike allowing you to get extra mileage from the bike. With an easily removable drive system (crank, pedals,chain, etc.), allowing for the two modes of operation: learning and riding.

This red toddler bike can be primarily used as a balance bike in the learning mode (without drive system) to teach young children the basic skills (balancing, braking and control) needed to ride a bicycle without the use of training wheels.
Once these skills are mastered, the pedal crank case can be easily attached in one piece without mess, the rest of the drive system fastened and the bicycle is ready for use in the riding mode as a 12 inch Bicycle. Hip kids balance bike also comes with training wheels if required making the transition from balance bike to learning to ride a bike (with pedals) even easier.




Tease...

We have had lot of this lately... sibling tease. Little small wars that ends with pinching, growling and what not. Fun thing is that when one of them end up in tears, the other one is quick to comfort... ah sibling love comes in so many colours. I predict we have many years of this to come.

Keep

Loving these shoes from American brand Keep. They do both childrens and adults shoes and they do them very well. Check out these kicks and if you like what you see head on over to their shop!

Cykel, Bicycle, Bicyclette, 自転車

Having lived in Copenhagen, Denmark one thing I really miss is the love for the bicycle. They do have a love for it here in Australia as well, but it is a bit more dangerous and confusing to hit the Australian roads. Rarely any bike paths and on more than one occasions I have seen bikers being hit by cars... No.. so far Denmark takes the cake when it comes to loving their bike. It is just so normal there.. like pants!! No Lycra obligations and most of all, everybody does it, not just sporty types.

This blog will keep my love for the bike and it's riders alive until I once more pedal the streets of Copenhagen :)
