 Ready Rider is simply fantasticJun 09, 2008
I was looking for a way to teach my five year old how to ride her bike without training wheels. After finding the Ready Rider online it took only four days and about 45 minutes per outing for her to be completely self sufficient. You can help as much or as little as necessary; it just depends on your child. She was riding on her own for long spurts by day two but didn't realize it because of the simple, out of sight design. It is also very easy on the back and knees due to the high angle of the bar. I have probably help sell 20-30 of the Ready Riders simply telling other parents at neighborhood kids park how easy it is to install and use. If you notice a spike in sales in the Chicago area... send me a commission. Great product that should have been readily available in my local area bike stores but none carried it.

 doen't help at allJun 07, 2008
I got this for my three year old daughter, thinkling it would help get her on two wheels. Now at not quite five she is riding by herself, but this product didin't help at all. I thought I could grab the handle and help if she was falling, but that thwarts the normal ballancing motions she makes. i also hoped to give her a push up hills with this, but again, it knocks her down. She liked the ballance bikes with no pedals, and that's what I'd reccomend over this.
Awesome ideaMay 04, 2008
I got this for my son's bike to teach him how to ride a two wheeler. He loves it because he can take off the training wheels to feel like a big boy. I love it because you get a workout walking/running behind them with out breaking your back. My only caution is really tighten the handle. After use it begins to get loose and your hand cramps from trying not to the let the handle wiggle too much as you are supporting the balance of the bike. Once my husband tightened it, it was fine. Well worth the money.

Ready Rider review - teacfh child to ride bikeMay 13, 2007
I have used it a few times with my son and it is working well though my son has not yet learned to ride by himself (needs more time).
One thing I will say is that for the bike I bought from Walmart to use with the Ready Rider, it was not a perfect fit (troublesome for this bike to install) though I assume that this bike is the exception. I finally managed to get it by having the seat at a bit of an angle to allow the bar to attach to it. My son didn't mind and otherwise it all works fine.

UPDATE: In the end my son learned how to ride on his own without this gadget. We removed it and put the seat low enough so that he could put his feet down when he felt he was falling. In less than a day he was riding on his own - as easy as that. A guy in a bike store recommend we do that.

Really helps; bargain priced.Mar 20, 2007
My son was entirely hostile to the idea of riding bikes. Every riding session would end in tears and frustration. I found the Ready Rider on Amazon browsing for anything that might help. I realized that I could not hold my son steady for long because it is so awkward to hold under the seat (he is also large for his age). I reasoned that the handle would allow us to concentrate on balance without having to worry about falling. The tips e-mailed by Ready Rider were helpful, too.
After our first session, my son admitted it was kind of fun and I knew we were on the way. After about 6 sessions, we were ready to remove the handle and move it to my younger son's bike.
Regarding assembly of the black rubber handle, it helps to lubricate the inside with some water and twist it on. The water will just evaporate.
I wouldn't want to teach without it!
