Since we've been in England, the kids haven't had much chance to ride their bikes. When we were picking a house, there were so many factors to consider, and somehow the question of where the kids might ride their bikes wasn't one of them. Our driveway is stones, not paved, we're on a fairly busy road, and all the neighbors have hedges, so you can't just ride along the sidewalk - you have to stop and check for cars at each driveway (hopefully others do this as well - really hard to see if anyone's coming when I'm backing out of my own driveway!)
There are parks, of course, but its easiest to drive the bikes there, and then ride them at the park. We just don't do that as often as we should. Maybe the cool, windy, sometimes rainy weather has something to do with that.
Today Brad got the bikes out in the back garden and decided that the kids would ride them there. Before we came, Susanna was in the process of learning to ride without training wheels. She was doing well, but now its been a while. She did very well riding on two wheels through the garden this evening. She can do it... now its just a matter of her knowing that she can!
Here are a few photos:
Can Daddy let go yet?
All by herself!
Ben, too (but with training wheels, of course)
Can you feel the love?
