tothepoint
I never learned how to ride a two wheeler as a kid just a tricycle.
I've tried the Giant Suede and the Schwinn Town and Country Trike and was looking at the Townie. $500 is about my price range.
By tried I mean I hopped on and sat on it while the saleswoman held the front wheel. The trike I was able to get on an d go obviously =D

You will have to judge if a three wheeler will meet you needs.
I will tell you how to learn to ride a two wheeler. Buy a low cost Dahon folding bike and get a bike helmet. Drop the seat way down so you can stand up while sitting on the seat. Wear your helmet and long pants. Go to a local park during quiet hours when no one is there. Drop the seat on the Dahon so low that it can be used as a scooter with both of your feet flat on the ground. With helmet on and riding in the soft grass in the park walk around with your weight on the seat and getting the hang of the steering. Don't use the pedals at all and in fact they can even be removed from the bike. When you get too far leaned to one side use the leg on that side to right yourself and start again. This will take most adults about 1-2 weeks of visits to the park to get the hang of it. After a while you will be able to coast and hold your legs off the ground for several seconds before the bike loses speed and leans over. At that point you can try to actually start pedaling.

I have to do any essay on why helmets should be worn with a bicycle and motorcycle.
I need 3 reasons: so far I have that it keeps you safe and it really doesn't inconvenient a person to wear one.
I need help with a 3rd reason though.
Any ideas?
Answer
It's a good example for younger children. All little kids should wear them because they have a greater chance of falling off and hurting themselves. If they see older kids and adults wearing them, they might be more inclined to.
