Joanne S. of Aurora CO:
"The Fatwheels that you sent to my son are truly a "dream come
true!". Our son is now able to ride his bike with the other
neighborhood kids. (They think it's very cool and have taken a ride.) He has
the confidence that he won't fall. It is also teaching him balance. The only
problem I am having is asking him to stop riding; and come in and eat! He
doesn't want to quit! He will stop to rest, then back on the bike again." See the photo

"I did receive them and they are great. I only wish I had found your site
while my oldest boy was needing training wheels. You can only imagine how
many of the "WalMart" sets I went through. Needless to say, I will be
telling everyone I know about your site. Thanks"
Pam P. of Boise, Idaho:
"I wanted to
thank you for the adult training wheels and to let you know how successful they turned
out to be. We bought them for our mentally handicapped 13 year old boy, Tyler.
He has a problem with balance, but we really wanted him to be able to ride a bike, so
we bought an adult sized bike and training wheels purchased from you. They
turned out to be part of what I think is a miracle. I never thought Tyler
would be able to ride a bike without the use of training wheels, although my husband
thought he may after many months, or years, of practice. Well, after riding
with the training wheels for only one month, he gained enough balance and coordination
to ride with out them; and even after 5 months he has only fallen one time. I
can't tell you how very excited and truly amazed I was when I saw him ride on his own.
He was so proud of himself, as were all those that know how hard he has had to
struggle to do what other kids do so naturally.
Thank you so much for providing us with the 'tool' that he needed to become
successful in this area. I think I will go watch him ride - he is out there
right now!"
Kate B. of State College PA:
"Thank you so much for sending the FatWheels to Gabriel. He Loves them! We go
off road all the time now and his confidence is tremendous"
Patty M. of Fairport NY:
"We mounted our son's new fatwheels on his bike about a week ago.
He had
been trying to learn to ride a bike for about 2 years, with essentially no
progress. I just want to tell you what a great product this has turned
out to be for us. Our son went from being white-knuckled, insisting
that
someone hold him as he pedaled SLOWLY on flat ground,.... to riding up and
down our sloped driveway, over bumps, and tooling around the neighborhood
ALONE, in the space of less than a week." See the photo of Doug (age 8) below:
P.S. He continues to progress nicely, and now LOVES to ride his
bike (previously it was a task I had to FORCE him to do (e.g. "Doug, you
can't go over to your friend's house until you practice riding your bike for
10 minutes" -- which was met with much complaining!))
