Matthew can ride on two wheels!! Wahoo!! He hasn't really liked his bike much because he does so well on his scooter, which he's been riding for a year and half at least! This summer we put training wheels on the bike hoping it would peak a little interest for him. He tried a couple of times and just didn't have any interest. With the weather being so nice these days, I decided it was time for him to get rid of the training wheels and learn to ride a bike like a big kid. Mark & I took the training wheels off and took him up the street a couple houses. We set him on the bike, turned him toward home and gave a gentle shove. That's all it took -- he was off! A couple more times and he was riding around like a pro!!
Now he totally loves his bike! Everyday he wants to practice riding. We even took him over to the bike trail and he did awesome! Way to go, Matthew!!
