10" noncommercial bike?
Has anyone ever seen a 10" bike (with training wheels) that doesn't have characters on it? This is for a friend, and yes, I've tried to convince her that a balance bike is better, but she's pretty set on this.
thanks,
-e

We have an old one from a garage sale that we loved. The only other one I have seen is that Radio Flyer one.

My kids have this bike. They like it. The only downside is the "no brakes" thing when they get a little bigger.

Hmmmm....no brakes? That kind of bites. I was considering getting it for Micah, but how is he supposed to stop? I guess they don't expect you to ever use it without the training wheels?

Does anyone know of a 10" bike that can be used without training wheels? This is so frustrating...

just a hint but if your able to buy a bike still in the box (unassembled) you might be able to avoid putting on the decals. Thats what a neighbor did, sorry I dont know the brand. But they simply didnt put the decals on it.

The REI one looks nice! We got our daughter this one:

It's a bit girly, but it was at a local bike shop and she was set on a purple bike.
