Charles M. of South Hill VA:
"The wheels arrived Friday and I installed them Saturday. We took Logan's bike to a nearby park and he took off. It was a joy watching him as he peddled faster and faster as he gained confidence. It was the first time I have ever been able to sit back and watch him ride.
In the past I always had to run along beside him balancing him, even with other training wheels. Your wheels were just what we were looking for. I highly recommend them.
Thank you."

Becky N. of Naples FL:
"I just wanted to let you know how much we love your training wheels. My son Steven is 11 years old and has Down Syndrome. He has had an amazing bike for about 2 years (he won it in a raffle at our local American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life event!) Although Steven has enough strength and balance to ride the bike on his own, he’s always been afraid that he would fall and has refused to try to ride it. When “Santa” brought his new training wheels, he was so happy! My husband and I love to watch him ride his bike with his big sister, and he’s so happy to finally be independent on his “really cool bike!” Thanks for the smiles you’ve brought to our family!" See photo of Steven below:
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

Allen M. of San Antonio, Texas:
"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!))
LaVon B., of Stryker, OH:
THESE ARE THE BEST!!!!
"I just got these for my daughter on Monday (6/18/2001) and we have
been riding all over town. My daughter is 9 years old and she has Down
Syndrome. She loves to ride her bike but still needs the stability that
training wheels provide. These are just what I have been looking for. They
are sturdy, strong and quiet.
We would go through 2 sets of the typical training wheels you buy from
stores each summer and I anticipate these to out live her bike.
Thank You Thank You Thank
You."
Martha W., regarding her son Jonathan
"I just wanted to call to thank you again. Having the training
wheels on his bike has improved his behavior......
and he's just a different little boy right now. Your wheels are
just awesome. Thank you again for all of your assistance and I
am definitely passing the word along!"
Bob L. of Norcross, GA :
"My daughter uses your training wheels and it has changed our lives! They are, by
far, the best gift we've given her in her 10 years of life! ......... Thanks for creating
a great product!" See the photo of Julie below:
Rich R. of Dalton, MA:
"Thanks for your help on the training wheels. We are very excited about them
helping (our son) Zach get to the next level of his bike riding."
Robert L. of Holland, PA :
"I can't tell you how much confidence and independence (my son) Danny has gained
by putting your wheels on his bike. They stabilize it so well he now goes around the block
without me! I have to run to keep up with him."
Debbie C. of Wellington, KS:
"It was great to talk to someone who has invented wheels which will help
"all" kids to be able to ride a bike. I am just so thrilled! You can be assured
I will tell everyone I know about them."
Jim W., of Charlotte, NC :
"I have a 5 yr. old son and I can't tell you how many times I watched him
crash-n-burn with the "standard equipment" training wheels before I found the
"FatWheel" training wheels. Regular training wheels are marginal even on flat
smooth surfaces. Any kind of off-road activities are out of the question! Since installing
a pair of Fat Training Wheels on my son's bike he is able to safely go with me on rides in
our local parks and trails with MUCH better stability and confidence! .....The wheels are
much larger and stick out farther from the frame of the bike to provide the best possible
ride." See the photo of David below:
Dale from Angle Lake Cyclery in Seattle, WA :
"I need to order some more of your training wheels.....love your stuff!"
