Press Release - LIKEaBIKE |
Today's Parents, May 2005:
"TWO WHEELER FUN .......... Starting a child on a four-wheel bike may be what we are all used to, but we've been told that it may delay a child's ability to ride a two-wheeler bicycle because the child takes a longer time to learn balance. Enter LIKEaBIKE, a contraption that looks just like an adult bike, except without pedals. For children from two to six years of age, this helps to develop a child's motor skills as he has to use his legs for stabilising, his body for balancing, and his arms to control direction. Best of all, it is easily self-constructed, and its pneumatic tyres leave no marks on floors, carpets or parquet."
The Straits Times URBAN, 17 March 2005:
"WHAT HE WANTS .......... You may be all grown up but you can still relive your childhood by getting your kid/cousin/neighbour's child this LIKEaBIKE. A mini adult bike minus the pedals, it is designed for children aged two to six. The child develops his motor skills and taste at the same time."
Young Parents, February 2005:
"LOOK MA, NO PEDALS! .......... Teaching your child to ride a bike can test your patience, frustrate your child, and leave you with a sore back. These are reasons enough to check out the European-made LIKEaBIKE. It is a simply designed bike for two- to six-year-olds - and it has no pedals. The child sits on it and propels the bike with his legs, not unlike The Flintstones. He can control his own speed and in due time, should be able to run with it, and learns to balance and stabilise himself in the process. By that time, he will be ready to hop onto a proper two-wheeler and pedal off. The birchwood bike has an adjustable saddle height and pneumatic tyres that do not leave marks on parquet floors or carpets, making it ideal for indoor use as well."
