Joshua on Two Wheels

Less than a year after Rebecca started riding a two-wheeler, Joshua is now starting to master his bicycle. Rebecca was probably ready a year before we took her training wheels off, but we were a little slow in pushing her. So we took that knowledge, and applied it to Joshua, and started pushing him to ride his bike at age 5. And it paid off. After a couple of weeks of some spills and bruises, something clicked in his little mind, and he got it.

He's at the stage now where he can ride for about 100 yards or so, but isn't confident enough yet to stop very easily. So he jams his feet on the ground and scurries with the bike until it comes to a stop. Sometimes he falls, sometimes he stays on his feet. But either way, he's having fun, and asks me when we can go riding again. We are so proud of our little man.

It's now time for me to get a bike so we can all go riding together.... oh boy.
