It’s a bike, it’s a trike, it’s…both!
I never had training wheels on my bicycle. I also fell over a lot. Now an industrial design team has come up with a revolutionary trike/bike: it starts out as a kind of trike, with two rear wheels that splay out at the bottom for stability, then transforms into a bike as the rider gains speed and leans forward, then turns back into a trike as the rider slows down.
Not only that, it looks cool, unlike training wheels.
If it takes off, this could be what my little girl’s first bike looks like!
