We didn't buy a special balance bike, we just took the pedals off of a small bike and let Daniel learn to balance on that. We let him "ride" the balance bike for about a month and then we put the pedals back on. He basically just took off with the bike. Little running along side or behind him was required. It was painless for us parents...probably the first painless-for-the-parents experience of his life.
I was so excited for him when he took off. As I was cheering him on, he looked at me, and his look said it all. His look said...
"Mom, ain't no thang!"He actually verbally says that now. It cracks me up.

Way to go Daniel! That's a great idea about the balance bike.
I love the "ain't no thing"! Hilarious.
