Read The Bike Lesson by Stan and Jan Berenstain. In this book, Small Bear learns how to ride his new bike from Papa Bear. After reading the book, talk about the children's experiences with tricycles and/or bicycles. Ask, “Do you think riding a bike is the same as riding a tricycle?” Talk about sitting on a seat, holding the handlebars, pedaling and steering. Then discuss, “How is it different? Riding on only two wheels, you have to balance and use a different way to stop.”
