Last year we bought the kids bikes in NC and left them so they would have them to ride this year. As soon as we touched down at Granny and Grandpa's, the kids started riding the bikes. After about threes days, Cameron announced she wanted her training wheels off. Well, OK, I guess she is ready. I have to add a disclaimer here...it all happened so fast, they were playing on the back porch in their underwear because it was so hot. It was lunch time but Cameron asked if she could ride her bike a few minuets before she ate, so I agreed, knowing after lunch would be a nap. That's when she made her announcement of no training wheels to Grandpa and the rest is history. It all happened so fast, I didn't even get very many pictures or even think about dressing them...but hey, how many kids get to learn how to ride their bikes in their underwear??
Cameron was the first...it took a few times out and down before she was up and going but she did great!
Timo was off and running on his first try! I am a firm believer in balance bikes! After he saw Cameron riding he decided he wanted his training wheels off, got on and took off! So fast, I almost didn't get a video.
There was no stopping them after that. It took a while before they were starting and stopping by themselves but in a few days they were full fledged independent bike riders!
