Weekend Reflections- Riding a Bike
These few weeks Ryan has been learning to ride his bicycle without the trainer wheels. We took off the trainer wheels as we feel that he is old enough to try and ride the bicycle without them.
The boys do not get to go on their bicycles that regularly as we only have time to bring the bicycles out on the weekend for them to play with. Sometimes the weekend is filled with other activities that they do not get to go on their bikes so it has been a while since they have been cycling.
It was a slow start for Ryan to get adjusted to being without trainer wheels but he got the hang of it after awhile and managed to go a short distance without falling over. This weekend he is much more confident and is able to ride his bicycle to the nearby coffee shop for lunch.
Roy too isn’t doing too badly on his tricycle. He is now able to pedal it independently and pedal quite a distance on it. Previously he didn’t even know how to move the pedals!! Roy is getting more and more independent and I feel that when he is four he should be ready to start rollerblading classes and go rollerblading with his elder brother.
We will be starting swimming lesson for him this September and he is eagerly looking forward to joining Ryan in the pool.
What were your kids doing this weekend?

@DG,
I got a BMX bike for Ryan and for Roy he has the push tricycle with sound(it’s a toy bike) in front which we got for him when he was 2yrs old.
