Trikes and training wheels never taught anyone how to ride a 2-wheeler. Training wheels are just crutches. My eldest rode with training wheels for over a year. He happily rode it around, canted at a 30 degree angle, not displaying any sense of balance whatsoever. When I took them off, he cried, but the next day he got it bike and within a couple of hours he'd learned. My granddaughter got a balance bike at age 3 and learned to ride it same-day.
