No more training wheels. Watch out!

Today I worked with my son on two wheels and I was really surprised how quick it went. He's fully mobile now on just the two wheels and he is proud! Well, so is Mom and Dad. I think his sister couldn't care less but she's only 3. He's got a bigger bike but for now he's comfortable on the smaller one. We'll get there soon....

WOW, that's really good 3yrs old. He'll be 5 on Monday. Of course we can only get out of the house a couple months in the spring and a couple months in the fall. Otherwise, it's snowing or too hot and humid. Gotta love Michigan!

AWESOME!!! Look at him go! Good for him!

My son (now 10) picked it up when he was 4, and I can remember feeling how proud I was of him!!! Once he got the hang of it, that's all he wanted to do until the sun went down! My daughter is 5 and I worked with her one Saturday at it, but she just wouldn't get over the fear, and just wouldn't let it happen. We will try again soon...maybe this weekend!

Currently it's 8:40 and yup, he's still at it. The wife is out there now. Time to grab a beer and sit on the patio and watch him go.....

Thumbs up

One of the best feelings of your live, teaching the boy how to ride, the next real big day will be teaching him how to drive a stick!!!!

Good job, Joey!!!!!

Jake has no interest in riding a bike for some reason. Man, when I was his age I was tearing up the neighborhood on my BigWheel.

Oh well, he was wanting to shift the 911 the other night on our ride. He was even pretending to have his "own" shifter. That's a good sign, I guess.
