So, Dylan has been wanting to ride his bike more and more since they get to ride them at his school. I figured he would probably be able to learn to ride his bike pretty quick and get his training wheels off if we just took him out a few times and gave him a chance to really learn to pedal. We live on a big hill so there isn’t really any place to practice bike riding around us because he would probably just end up flying down the hill. I told Mike that I thought we should just take off his training wheels and see how he does. Mike wasn’t sure but went along with my plan. We went out in search of the most level ground we could find and Mike started working with him. Aubri brought her scooter so she was busy scooting around on that.
Dylan took to riding his bike almost immediately. Mike was pretty amazed and thought it would take a whole lot longer. The next day I took him out and he was riding a park in SLO along a pretty long path all by himself. Then later that day we took him to another park and he was able to start all by himself and was getting control of turning. He still doesn’t use his brake like he is supposed to. He thinks it is too funny to either run into things to stop or drag his feet. I am very proud of my little man though, he did a great job!
