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
