We were kind of slow in teaching our kids to ride bikes without training wheels. Maybe it's because living in such a congested area you can't just go out and practice in the street or the bumpy, awful sidewalks. :) Or maybe because we thought it would be harder and take a long time. Well, we finally taught Christopher and it was so easy. We went over to the school where there are big open areas and in about 10 minutes he was riding all by himself. It was so fun to see how much he loved it and to hear him say, "Let go dad!" Kids really need those confidence building experiences. Jeff commented that it was actually an emotional experience for him to teach him and watch him learn. Christopher caught on so quick that we went home and got the smaller bike for Michael. He wasn't quite as excited and so he didn't want to do it for very long, but we think he'll pick it up pretty quick once he gets over his hesitancy.
