A few weeks ago, my twins fully graduated from their balance bikes to pedal bikes. It’s really been great watching them zipping around. Feels like a whole new world is being unlocked and looking forward to taking them on rides with me on our local trails.

That’s what 10w/kg looks like
The world needs more of this
Last year I was at an evening church meeting at one of the member’s homes. Their four year old son, Ryder, was on his little bike with training wheels and I observed how he was riding. I told his dad, “I think Ryder is ready to lose the training wheels.” The dad said he wasn’t sure about that but said that Ryder was wanting to ride like his big brother. I insisted that Ryder was ready. I told Ryder’s dad to at least raise the trainers a bit to give Ryder more opportunities to learn to balance on his own. I also gave Ryder’s dad some suggestions on how to teach Ryder to ride without the trainers.
A couple weeks later I saw Ryder’s dad again and asked him how things were going with the riding. He told me that he used my suggestions and in TEN minutes Ryder was riding all on his own and that he was full of smiles now that he’s riding free of the trainers.
