First Bike Ride X2

We got the above red bike from a friend that was moving. They did not have enough room for it in their moving truck. So Devon brought the bike home with him. Luke and Taylor's bikes both still had train wheels at the time. We had taken Taylor's training wheels off a little over a year before, with disastrous results. Devon had given up taking the training wheels off, just to put them right back on an hour later. Luke saw the new bike and said he was going to ride it. So Devon took him outside, held the bike up while Luke got on top, then with a little help Luke was off riding on his first try. The picture above was taken shortly after.

Well Taylor decided that was not acceptable! Taylor came out and demanded a try on the new bike, and with a little help she was off on her own. Seeing Luke ride free, was just to hard to watch.



We don't think Taylor would have ever learned how to ride a bike.... If luke did not learn first. Their sibling rivalry lead her to get over her fear of crashing. In the end it was great, they have been riding every dry day since. Both their bikes have the training wheels off now. They play little bike games, and get some great exercise, away from the wii.
