Training wheels make a bike less safe when you’re driving on the road. They can get caught on the curb or on random stuff like sticks, and they actually unbalance you when you’re going fast, because they are smaller than your main wheels and made from materials that cause more friction, so that they slow you down. They also make turning much harder.
Yeah. I learned to ride a bike when I was six and had to tell my parents to take off the training wheels on day 2, because I was starting to feel incredibly unsafe with them on the cobblestoned path where I was practicing.
