Our daughter just turned 2 and we got her a "real" bike with training wheels, I was just wondering what the average age was for a first bike?
Yeah, she hasn't learned to pedal forward yet,lol, And congrats mum 2 :)
 
We got my son a bike at age 3, but he didn't really figure out how to pedal it until closer to age 4. My daughter on the other hand, is about to turn two and can already sit and pedal.

If I had to guess I'd say age 3-4 is more "average," but definitely some 2-year-olds are ready.

Just make sure she wears a helmet every time she sits on it, because even with training wheels she can fall off faster than you can catch her.
 
My son just got one for his fifth birthday (though technically his birthday isn't until the end of the month). He's had it about three weeks now and is SO excited about it. I'm definitely glad I waited for him, because I don't think he would have liked it as much when he was younger.
