If it is then it is a highly retrograde step. Was around in the 70's and died a death.
Just google "Balance Bike". It is a bike without pedals that promotes balance skills.
Not necessarily, it could be your son's current bike with the pedals removed.

Heh that's what we did with my daughter in the end, whipped the stabilizers and the pedals off. She was riding without stabilizers (with pedals) that same day. Hence we avoided them completely for my youngest and went for a balance bike
You mean this one ?
Tiny bit more then I wanted to spend, but I'll take a look at it when I go to Evans in a few hours.
What say the rest of you?
Oh, also definitely looking at the balance bike for my son - we were looking at youtube videos today and he seems keen. Any idea why they range from £30 to over £100?

Looks a good bike for the money
+1
OP - have you looked into whether your work do a cycle to work scheme ? Would enable you to increase your budget without actually spending more money - sounds weird I know but look into it.
If you're not sure if you're going to enjoy it, why not ask around about borrowing a bike. loads of people have bikes knocking around in garages that are never used. That way you can find out if you enjoy it without spending any money !
