Balance bicycle to pedal bicycle conversion

A bicycle is converted from a balance bicycle to a pedal cycle and has a removable folding footrest assembly which may be interchanged with a removable pedal crankset. The bicycle frame may be fitted with a triangular bracket welded to the underside of the crossbar / seat downtube. The bracket may have a plurality of mounting holes therein. A folding footrest assembly (Fig 1b) may be affixed to the bracket, alternatively a crankset assembly (Fig 1c) comprising a sprocket, cranks and folding pedals may be affixed to the bracket, via nuts and bolts. A chain may then be connected from the crankset sprocket to the rear wheel. The bicycle may be used to learn to balance on as in a scoot bike and then when equipped with footrests to balance in a feet up position. When fitted with the crankset the child makes the transition to pedalling the bicycle. The seat height may be adjusted, the wheels may be made in different diameters and the frame may be made from aluminium.
