The bikes were second hand, but in excellent condition!
The bikes needed a little TLC!
Bond was able to get the bike that needed the most work fixed up!
This Saturday, mommy (that would be me) put on her little girls training wheels! All by myself! I know it's really not a big deal, but it was pretty cool!
The girls and I walked their bicycling route (very short route too). I was a laxed mommy and did not require helmets the first time. (OK, bad parent award coming, I'm ready).
OMG! How did I ever learn how to ride a bike? I don't remember training wheels. I remember sitting on my bike with one foot on the curb for stability and taking off and then stopping and doing it again, and again and again. . . . get the picture??
I truly understand why Bond wants full face masks, knee and elbow pads, gloves, etc. I forget that the girls have not ever ridden a bicycle, perhaps a tricycle, but not a bicycle. They want to use the Fred Flintstone method of braking!
It was just a little nerve racking for me! So we practicing a figure eight pattern between our driveway and my neighbors driveway and that seemed to work out ok. And it did work OK! Take a look.
So everyday now when there is a free moment you will be able to find me on the front porch watching and giving little tips and tricks to the girls while they continue to practice riding their bikes!
