The CrumleyFamily posted some build photos of their homemade wooden coaster bike in the MAKE Flickr photo pool they made (picture here, start and finish) - "About a year ago, Alli's Mom pointed out a wooden coaster bike that would be a cool toy for Fuller someday. I had seen pictures of them before and had always thought they were kinda cool. Also, they supposedly help kids learn to ride bicycles without training wheels. But, instead of letting Alli's Mom buy him one, I proposed that I would make one and they could pay for the materials..." [via] - Link.

How this nice copy from bugabike ? :-)

The wooden LIKEBIKE-BUGABIKE push bike is made for kids as young as two-years old.

The LIKEBIKE-BUGABIKE fulfills their growing sense of independence by helping them develop the motor skills and balance necessary to go from walking their LIKEBIKE-BUGABIKE to practically riding it li
All varieties of the French designed LIKEBIKE-BUGABIKE are made with birch wood, stainless steel, rubber and felt, so they are simple, yet durable, safe and most important of all, a lot of fun.

The gap between the frame and fork is filled with felt, so little fingers won't get stuck where they shouldn't.

Whether it's a smooth sidewalk or a muddy hill, the inflated tires and versatility of
No-pedal bikes - In French many kids start riding bicycles as early as 2 or 3 years of age.

The trick is never to use a bike with training wheels, because they hinder the development of the proper bal 2-wheeled scooters can also be used, and they have the advantage that they will probably continue to be used even after the child has mastered a regular bike.
