One of the activities that Greg and I worked on last weekend was procuring a "bike with pedals" for Lil G. Many of you know that Lil G has been riding a
Strider Balance Bike for a couple of years. Truthfully, he only got really good at it over the course of the last year. The basic principal of the bike is to perfect the art of balancing and gliding, before introducing the aspect of pedaling.
Well, as of late, Lil G has clearly mastered the art of gliding and had been repeatedly asking for a "bike with pedals, like dada's". We decided to go ahead and get him one, in conjunction with his grandparents (Papa and Tutu), as a sort of early Christmas present. After all, with a birthday in February and Christmas in December, there isn't a lot of opportunities to acquire summery toys!
Lil G took to his new bike right away. He does a great job at gliding on it (the training wheels rarely touch the ground). He is still working on the concept of braking, however. Practice, practice, practice!
After a few minutes of riding, we determined that we needed to raise the seat up a little bit. Lil G got out his tools to "help" Greg.
