Because the training wheels interfered with the natural balance that the strider-type bike encourages and develops, often within 10-15 minutes. Case proved, Heh, heh, heh

I used to ride with my cousins when I was 6, but then one time I crashed pretty bad(my sister took lots of picture ) and I stopped riding bikes after that. I started again when I was 13 to ride to school and back. At 15(last year) I got my first road bike, and now I am a pretty good rider and I am planning to race next season.

I've never seen one of those, but that looks just right for a beginning cyclist. Though it's too bad he killed some of the plants.
