Our 3yr old daugther riding on her own on her bike, to go to her uncle and aunt. I believe this is something extraordinary, only seen in the Netherlands at this age.
A helmet is a good idea on city streets . It is just borrowing an idea from nature . Helmets look and function the same as turtle shells. They make sense for certain types of head injury . I agree they would not protect against a car's tire rolling over ones leg but your noggin holds your brain . The other thing if its too hot with helmet on take it off immediately then cycle to water quickly .
I found this. A short piece of an American article. It made me laugh. "Children ages 3 and 4 years are in a period of significant gross motor skills development. They learn to balance on one foot; walk on their tiptoes; and climb, hop and skip. Three-year-olds can pedal, use a handlebar and operate three-wheeled vehicles, such as tricycles, but they do not have the balance required to operate a bicycle with only two wheels" LMAO. She's obviously never been to The Netherlands.
She also took on the responsibility of taking her doll with her! But mom and dad can do a lot better: no lights on their bikes and no reflector at mom's bike (which is legally required)…
I have seen that they do it the same way in the rest of the Netherlands, so not only in Holland. When shall many Dutch stop calling their own country Holland…? They should know better!

Every one learns That as little kid
the only person in the Netherlands with a helmet on, it looks good on him,, good job boy…
Three is pretty amazing. Usually they learn to ride without sidewheels at age 4 or 5. Sweet kid.

Really super video.
My oldest son ditched his training wheels at 2. The rest of my kids, no. I don't think it's for every kid.
North or South Holland?

Holland? Where are you from? The U.S. of Carolina? Or Dakota? England? It is The Netherlands…..
Awww…. ze heeft ook van die kleine beentjes he.
Geweldig, gewoon in mijn eigen buurt. Leuk man. 0.07 fiets ze langs mijn huis. Wat een toeval. Groetjes van de trike (driewieler) fietser.
That's the spirit
Perhaps as important is the fact that our Dutch elderly can move safely by bicycle to a very old age…
such a precious moment. thank you for sharing 🇮🇳

Not sure if this is real. Ive never seen a Dutch kid wearing a helmet while driving a bicycle.
If only they didn't speak like clowns, it would be the perfect country to live in 😂
For her age, she did pretty well
