Bike Boy

While I have been out for rides in the past couple weeks the bigger news is Daniel and his pedal bike.  He has made great progress in a short time.  The Strider bike seems to have set the stage well for independently riding his pedal bike, training wheels never  installed.

 Cruising up and down the street.

Earlier this week KT and friends went to Fredericksburg for a walk on the trail.  Well, the babies and ladies walked on the trial while Daniel rode his bike.  I was not too sure if this was a good idea because he has only been pedaling several times over the past couple weeks.   No issues for Daniel, he rode 1.1 miles before they turned around and he rode 1.1 miles back.  2.2 miles for his real bike ride at 3 years of age!  Wow, I'm impressed.

Dropping mommy and Ellen.

Today had a several laps up and down the street.  Daniel was literally riding circles around me in the cul-de-sac as I took some pictures.  All was good until we tried to have him use the brakes.  KT told him to "ride towards the mailbox then put on your brakes."  Well, he rode straight at the mailbox and crashed into without any braking.  Fortunately all was okay after some tears, enough bike riding for today.

Round and round is fun.
