Any one messes with that bike should lose a finger. That is a treasure that builds urban community.

I've known a few small business owners who have done stuff like this after adults complained there was nowhere to lock up their adult bike because a kid bike was occupying the space. Basically the small business owners' responses were "you're in shape. There's a large rack around the corner. Your bike is important to you, but that kids bike is their entire world right now. You can shut the hell up and walk"
And then put up signs like this or that just say "kid bike lock up only."
Yo, someone stole your pedals
Kids of that age would more-or-less walk while sitting on these. The pedaling comes after balance training (unlike how my generation used tricycles at the same age).
That's not a bike?
Bicycles are called bikes in the US and some other countries.
I assume you come from one of the countries where motorcycles are called bikes?
Bike is short for bicycle. Motorcycles aren't bikes. Obviously the short form of motorcycle is mike.
Bike is short for Bichael
I think they're referring to the lack of pedals.
A push bike is a type of bicycle. https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/bikes/kids-bikes/push-bikes
Just realized there aren't pedals.
If you grew grew a bush into a push bike and cut off all the flowers, it would be a bike with no pedals and no petals.
and if it won a race it would be a bike with no pedals and no petals but with a metal medal
Are you telling me the flintstones had a bike
While everything you said is correct, it still has no pedals. I thought we (USA) called these scooters.
It's a balance bike. I think of scooters as not having a seat.
I completely agree. Unless of course you’re talking about a Vespa… 🫠
Like the other reply said, it is called a Balance Bike.
To add some more context, it is not a scooter because you aren’t supposed to stand up on them but sit like a real bike but you move by pushing with your feet. They are training bikes for toddlers before they have the hand-eye coordination for peddling and you can either graduate to a kids bicycle with training wheels or some kids just go straight to the bicycle without the training wheels.
I thought bikes have pedals, we would call that a scooter
This is a bike 🥄
That's not a bike, that's a spoon.
Alright, alright, you win.
Heh, I see you've played bikey spoony before!
indeed.
The dandy horse, an English nickname for what was first called a Laufmaschine ("running machine" in German), then a vélocipède or draisienne (in French and then English), and then a pedestrian curricle or hobby-horse, or swiftwalker, is a human-powered vehicle that, being the first means of transport to make use of the two-wheeler principle, is regarded as the forerunner of the bicycle.

It's not a motorbike, not a bicycle, but it can be a bike. It has 2 wheels.
