He’s getting bigger every day — and so is his fear of riding a two-wheeler. But all evidence aside (including some sorry-looking bruises and tears), it’s still your job to know he can do it.

Here’s a wheel you can stand on: the new Gyrowheel. Straight out of the Mission, this nifty accessory replaces a standard twelve- or sixteen-inch front bicycle wheel. The genius of it is an internal spinning wheel that keeps the bike stable even while moving at a beginner’s pace. Which means the time it takes to master a bike is significantly shortened. (A good thing for you, since the Gryowheel is heavy and you have to remember to keep it charged.)

Freed from training wheels and emboldened by newfound balance, your not-so-little little one will discover something to build on: the jubilation of a short, successful run on his very first day.

Available at ReMatch Sports, 1567 Pacific Avenue, between Polk and Larkin Streets (415-830-9470 or rematchsports.com); online at thegyrobike.com, $115 and $155.
