Default Are there training wheels for adult bikes?
I had some trouble keeping steady and upright on my bicycle last summer, so I was wondering if anyone knows if someone makes small training wheels for the rear wheels of adult bikes...just to keep me upright. No tassles for the handlebars, though

I have an old, old one of these that DBF and I found in the middle of nowhere. We just need to fix the brakes, add a basket, and possibly a motor and I am good to go.

This is more my style. Lol I don"t think I could balance on two wheels anymore. Now three sounds good.

Lady - That is similar to the one we found. I rode it around DBF's backyard and was able to maintain my balance. I really need to get with it and get the brakes fixed on it and then paint it. The basket and motor can come later. I want to put an electric motor on it with a solar panel. But, that's DBF's job as he is much better at that type of thing than I am.

I had a really cool bell once. Ring-ring. Now I zoom in my chair, no way could I sit on any bike seat. No bell but I can yell for others TO GET OUT OF MY WAY!! (I'm a little old and cranky)
