My area is very woodsy, but I have a half acre fenced for the kiddos with no trees. A very small portion of that is paved. The draws to my outdoor area is the enormous sandbox, castles and sliding toys.
When daycare kids ride bikes and cars at my home, they all want to play bumper cars. Someone always get hurt if I'm not standing near them.
Lol Striders/balance bikes really are simple bikes
nothing crazy. Riding gloves and helmets are just for protection. We are big on always having proper gear (comes from riding MX, I realize little kids on small bikes don't necessarily NEED gloves).
