Training Wheels




Training wheels, also known as '''stabilizers''', are an additional wheel or wheels mounted parallel to the rear Wheel of a Bicycle that assist learners until they have developed a usable Sense Of Balance on the bicycle. Typically they are used in teaching very young children to ride a bike. One alternative to using training wheels is a Balance Bicycle .

The term "training wheels" is commonly used in America and Australia as a way of describing the stabilizers' role in helping young children learn to ride bicycles.

Training wheels can also refer to the Wheel s that serious cyclists use to train on, as opposed to the racing wheels which would be a lot lighter/faster and are generally kept for racing. These can be wheels such as entry level wheels, for example the Mavic Cosmos vs. the Ksyrium line or Cosmic Carbone .
