Ask nearly any parent and you will hear stories of chase, exhaustion, back-pain, crashes, injuries, and tears from the process. That all changes today!Presenting Steady Rider – finally making bicycle training quick, easy, safe, and enjoyable for both the child AND the adult. A great experience from the start will ensure years of cycling enjoyment for the whole family.Steady Rider is an affordable, well-built, easy-to-install steel bracket and wood handle. The bracket attaches the wood handle to the seat post of nearly any child-size bicycle. It is that simple!DON’T SET YOUR CHILD BACK with training wheels as they provide a false sense of the balance necessary to ride a two-wheeler. Steady Rider allows an adult to support a child easily and comfortably as they gain confidence – building the skills of balance and steering while learning to pedal, while you avoid the back-pain of holding the seat!Even after riding skills are mastered, Steady Rider can be used when the child becomes exhausted on longer rides or hills.The trees for our wood handles are grown and harvested responsibly. Slightly different than the image, our handles are unfinished poplar wood.Steady Rider is a product made in the USA and 10% of the profits from each sale are donated to Project ReCycle. Your support is sincerely appreciated!Please note this device is not intended for use on bikes smaller than 12-inch. ## Features - 360-DEGREE CONTROL allows not just lateral support but also the ability to push the child up a hill, slow them down, stop them when necessary, and help navigate through crowded areas. It is far easier to quickly grab Steady Rider than the seat when your trainee is heading for trouble. - EASY, NATURAL GRIP while walking, jogging, or running alongside your little cyclist-in-training. - LONG HANDLE provides exceptional leverage so minimal strength is required to support the child, while also allowing even the tallest of adults to stand up-right – avoiding the painful process of bending down to hold the seat or the rider. - SOLID, WELL-BUILT, LIGHTWEIGHT, Steady Rider does not impact the child’s performance on the bike, and is easily stored. - EASY INSTALLATION to the 1-inch-diameter seat post of nearly any child’s bicycle. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Age Range (Description) | Kid | | Brand | Steady Rider | | Color | Zinc-plated | | Wheel Size | 12 Inches | | Frame Material | Alloy Steel | | Suspension Type | Rigid | | Special Feature | Lightweight | | Included Components | Training Wheel | | Item Weight | 1.5 Pounds | | Is Autographed | No | | Manufacturer | Yarnell Industries, LLC | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 8 x 4 x 1 inches | | Package Weight | 1.5 Pounds | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 7.5 x 1.5 x 1 inches | | Brand Name | Steady Rider | | Country of Origin | United States | | Part Number | 2017-01 | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Kid - **Brand:** Steady Rider - **Color:** Zinc-plated - **Wheel Size:** 12 Inches - **Frame Material:** Alloy Steel - **Suspension Type:** Rigid - **Special Feature:** Lightweight - **Included Components:** Training Wheel - **Item Weight:** 1.5 Pounds - **Is Autographed:** No ## Images ![Steady Rider Bicycle/Bike Balance and Riding Skills Training Wheel Alternative Device for Kids - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91DRDf+nZVL.jpg) ![Steady Rider Bicycle/Bike Balance and Riding Skills Training Wheel Alternative Device for Kids - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1HSzXh9mXL.jpg) ![Steady Rider Bicycle/Bike Balance and Riding Skills Training Wheel Alternative Device for Kids - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1y3ah6HUFL.jpg) ![Steady Rider Bicycle/Bike Balance and Riding Skills Training Wheel Alternative Device for Kids - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/910hAf0krZL.jpg) ![Steady Rider Bicycle/Bike Balance and Riding Skills Training Wheel Alternative Device for Kids - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Lt7Hbv3eL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bye-bye training wheels! *by N***R on September 13, 2017* Tried the training wheel method, and my daughter couldn't seem to get past them. She is almost four, so we want her to get away from using training wheels. She would just lean one way or the other on the wheels, and refused to try to balance upright, even when I tried to explain why balance was a good thing. After I installed the Steady Rider (which took 5 minutes, and was very simple to do!) and removed the training wheels she was actually very eager to get on her bike and try it out! I think she really likes the handle sticking up from behind her seat, she says it is like her little sister's bike (a trike with handles for parents to push and steer). The first time we tried out the Steady Rider I could already tell my daughter was working on balance. I kept a loose grip on the handle so that the bike would move naturally left and right as she pedaled, but not so loose I couldn't quickly tighten my grip to prevent her from wiping out. My first impression is that the Steady Rider will be very helpful in getting her to balance all on her own, I'll follow up on this review when she finally does it! Got the product on 9/12/2017 for my almost-four-year-old daughter.Follow up, It is 1/8/2018 and my daughter can now ride upright without help! She is able to stop just fine, but starting is still a bit challenging for her. All told, the Steady Rider helped my daughter get the balance she needed in less than 4 months! Usage was casual, once every week or two, for less than 30 minutes per attempt.Great product! ### ⭐⭐⭐ Good concept, wooden handle not hardwood *by S***4 on May 1, 2020* The wooden handle this comes with is too soft/flexible. The brackets/clamps are beefy, and overall this kit is well made. However, they really dig into the wood handle and the wood permanently compresses (if you don't tighten it enough the handle will wiggle and slip out).However, the clamps keep you from adjusting the seat height, and on one of our bikes it doesn't extend far enough back to clear the seat.Not sure I would buy again. If you do, recommend a hardwood broom handle, e.g. oak or ash. ### ⭐ Not for older children *by I***L on June 15, 2019* Apparently this product is meant for toddlers. My son is almost 10 but has a degenerative muscular neuropathy so it is difficult for him to stay balanced. I bought this product hoping that I could get out there and help him ride his bike for more than a few minutes at a time. Unfortunately the pole snapped like a twig within 10 minutes of use. I put what remained back on and we attempted to ride for another 10 - 15 minutes. It snapped again. This cycle has repeated five times. One more break and I don't even think the pole will be long enough to be effective any more. I gave the product one star based on my experience but it may work just fine for a lighter child. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/62925532-steady-rider-bicycle-bike-balance-and-riding-skills-training-wheel](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/62925532-steady-rider-bicycle-bike-balance-and-riding-skills-training-wheel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
