like riding a bike

For about a year I have been trying to progress Helen's bike riding and she is just not keen or progressing much. I think it is time to try and crack this from another angle, I read online about concentrating on balance and steering first by taking off the pedals, stabilisers and lowering the seat to make the bike more like one of those balance bikes. Which with hindsight I think we should have really started with. I'll give it a go.
