Page 4, green background, para 1. Reword to:
The child should be able to stand astride the bike with both feet
flat on the ground and the knees slightly bent, and when sitting on
the saddle should be able to touch the ground with toes of both feet.

Fine - but perhaps better still:
The child should be able to stand astride the bike *comfortably* with
both feet flat on the ground...

I like Tom's here, it amounts to about the same thing but is much more
concise and easy to understand.

Me too! I knew my version wasn't too concise.
