SAFETY FIRST. Tell your child that safety starts with a helmet, appropriate clothing—including shoes—and a well-tuned bike. Once you’re rolling, safety means constantly assessing the situation, looking out for danger, and knowing the path away from it. Tell him that being safe on a bike is a process that never ends.

Driveway games make great skill sessions: Challenge your child to steer around small rocks, or to stop before hitting a chalk line. It’s a great idea to get together with neighborhood parents and kids for a morning of fun riding at a local playground. Kids tend to learn best when simply following the example of others their size.

Talk about how everybody wrecks sometimes. Teach your kid to step over the top tube if the bike falls over (training wheels make rear dismounts tricky), as well as to tuck a shoulder and roll through a fall without sticking an arm out. Single best boo-boo saver: a pair of child-size cycling gloves.

DON’T GROW INTO IT. It’s tempting to buy a bike that’s too big so the child can grow into it. With adjustable handlebars and saddles, it can work (within reason), especially on bikes smaller than the 20-inch size. But here’s the problem: Too-big bikes are hard to control, making it more likely that Junior will crash. Always remember the keys to small-fry fit: being able to easily put both feet on the ground, and being able to turn without reaching uncomfortably far. If the larger bike lets your child accomplish both, then go for it. If not, the bike is too big.
