My Tiger, 7, has learned to ride a bike! Last summer, we took her training wheels off while camping, hoping the big area would help her learn. Her Uncle R ran beside her for quite a long time trying to get her to balance. She would always wobble. He suggested we take her to a grassy hill, to help her get momentum, yet be soft enough for falls. It took awhile, but we finally went this week. I can't believe how easy it was for her! I gave her a little push down the hill, (we started close to the bottom) and she just took off! She had to practice stopping right, and turning, which she did. She had a hard time getting started without a push, so I told her she could practice in the back yard at home. Yesterday, she spent almost every spare moment on her bike out back, riding in circles around the yard! I used to love riding my bike and I can almost feel the thrill of her newly learned "freedom"! She'll be riding with the big guys in Yosemite this year!
A push from Mommy:
And she's off!
Happy girl!
