Q.
Answer
Each child is different. To give you an "age" is very difficult. The average range is between 4 and 7 give or take a few years. Other factors to consider are riding time the child has, area that the child has to ride (is it wide open or not much of an area), are there other kids in the area riding also, or just one on one with an adult, does the child have an interest in riding a bike (some kids don't).

What age should my child learn how to tie his shoes and ride a bike without training wheels?
I want answers from parents who have multiple children and know the correct answer to this question, PLEASE! no teenage kids that think they know how to give advice :o)
Please list the ages that your children were when they learned these things .. i am trying to figure out if my son is progressing as he should be .. he does have hyperactivity disorder and is on medicine.
Thanks :)
He turned 5 this month & isnt in kindergarten yet .. should i let loose and not worry so much?!
Answer
6 on the bike at least half of kids are riding a two wheeler without training wheels @ the start of 1st grade. The bike range though is the same as beginning reading 4-8 is the typical acquisition of these things. The bike is also how much access a child has to it. Because this generation of kids don't play freely outside unsupervised like we did, its growing later.
Tying laces, its expected by 2nd grade, most kids can do it earlier if they are taught. The velcro invention has really thrown the present generation of kids back on the shoe tying.
I'm 38, rode a bike @ 4 1/2, tied shoes @ 5 1/2
My children have complex developmental delays
they are 10 yrs today bike riding he doesn't do (dyspraxic), but read @ 6, tying shoes he can do sloppily and has been able to do since 7.
My 5 yr old has been reading since 3, can't ride a bike or tie shoes. Haven't begun either with him. He loves to peddle a trike though.
My 4 yr old does none of these he still has trouble dressing himself. He really doesn't even peddle a trike.
just look @ bikes in the toy stores. It used to be that a 12" bike came with training wheels, now 16" and even 20" come with them.
