Yesterday Pork Chop decided that he wanted to ride his bike without training wheels. So I went to the garage and got the tools out.
I did a couple of things.
1. Removed the training wheels
2. Tightened up the handle bars
3. Adjusted the seat to the proper height
4. Tightened up the brake lines
After 30 minutes of tools work and adjustment I felt that the bike was worthy of an attempt to ride without training wheels.
We set out on the street and showed Pork Chop how to get on to the bike, how to balance himself and how to put his leg down to support himself.
Then we were off! Of course for 10-15 minutes it was shaky business. He was scared. Wobbly and nervous do not mix well.
Finally after that he took off! Mama and I were running along side him while he rode for support and to help him stop.
He did it! How exciting. I am so proud of him! Within two weeks he should be riding on his own!
