This question has come up frequently from people that are interested in purchasing a balance bike for their son or daughter. It is a valid question, but it is more the buyers preference. If you are buying a wood or a metal bike you are basically accomplishing the same goal, trying to find a safe bike so that your son or daughter can learn to ride a bike. Knowing that let me tell you some of the pros and cons of purchasing each.
First lets start with a wood balance bike. Most people that purchase wood balance bikes are more environmentally conscious. Wood bikes are just what they portray. All wood bikes can be returned back to the land once they are used and are found to have no more use. Wood will not hurt the environment not one bit. The only parts on the bike that you may have to deal with once finished is the wheels and the rubber handle bar grips. All the rest are screws and wood. This is the pro of buying a wood balance bike. The one con that I could find is the seat adjustments. To adjust the seat on any wood bike you will have to remove two screws, adjust the seat up or down and put the screws back. This could be a pain especially if you lose the tool needed to do the adjustment.
Now lets look at metal balance bikes. Hands done a metal bike can take more punishment than a wood bike. They can take a child picking up the bike and dropping the bike or even if they decide to throw down the bike when finished. Also adjustments are just a little more easier with most metal bikes. Some come with quick change adjustments that involve just unbolting a clip doing the adjustment and pushing the clip back into place to tighten the grip once again. This is something that you will not see on the latest wooden bikes.
All and All it is still your preference as to if you want a wood or metal balance bike. They both get the job done in the end allowing you to have a happy and well rounded child.
Get the tools needed to help your child learn to ride a bike. Balance bikes are made especially for children between 2 and 5. They help children to learn how to balance themselves without training wheels used on traditional bikes. Take a look at these wood balance bikes.
The Basic Techniques Mountain Biking
This article covers short but very necessary basic techniques when you start mountain biking. Mountain biking is an exciting sport that can be enjoyed by anyone who knows how to ride a bike. Compared to the average bike ride, it does present some danger. Therefore, you should master these basic skills before you hit the trails or the dirt.
Always commit to a track or line. This means that you need to think a few steps ahead and set out the line that you want to ride. If you hesitate for example because you are afraid of the obstacles that are ahead of you, it quite often happens that things go wrong. Your posture might change because you are afraid and thinking about your fear instead of just mountain biking. Especially going downhill, if you hesitate halfway through, you will surely fall off.
Think 2-3 moves ahead. Don't focus on a single obstacle for a long time. Always be aware of the next thing you have to do.
Don't lock your sights on the rider in front of you. You just might end up hitting a piece of rock that the rider in front of you has just managed to avoid. Look 1-2 meters ahead of you. Don't focus on your front wheel or the rear wheel of the rider in front of you.
Shift to a light gear upon hitting an unforeseen patch of sand, water or mud. Transfer you weight more to the rear wheels by leaning back. Don't slam on the brakes for this will only cause you to loose the already little traction you have. Relax and just "spin" your way through. This will allow your front tires to glide through the soft terrain.
Slide off the saddle as you ride down a steep bank or riding downhill. This will allow more time to react to unforeseen obstacles. Besides, it's easier to fall off the back of the bike than to fly over the handlebars when you loose control.
Don't grip the handlebars too tight. This will make your upper body tense and will tire you faster. Loosen up but, not to loose.
Don't put your thumb above the handle bar. This will make it easier for you too loose grip if you hit something unexpectedly.
Slightly bend your elbows and loosen you shoulders, but not to hunched. This will assist in absorbing the shocks that you might experience in the downhill trials.
With some practice, you can become a wonderful mountain biker. Practice the techniques described in this article and you will be on your way to becoming a better biker, or for more information please visit www.MountainBikingWorld.blogspot.com
