A New Beginning

As the weather has warmed up around here and spring has shown its wonderful self (!!!!), Quinn has been itching to get back on her bike.  Ryan has been itching too, but in a different kind of way.  He is itching to get Quinn's training wheels off her bike.  So....Off went the training wheels today!!! 

First we had to gear up... helmet and knee pads, long pants and close-toed shoes.  Check.

Quinn was pretty apprehensive to even get on the bike, but with some coaxing she did!  And boy did she look good on it!

I took her up and down the sidewalk first.  I am not sure who got the better workout - me or her.  My legs sure were sore afterward.  Ryan took her out next and was so patient with her.

Riding a bike without training wheels is a big task - one that is going to take patience and dedication.  Quinn is learning the fine art of balancing without tipping, sitting up nice and tall, steering appropriately, and keeping her feet on the pedals.

Day One - success!  Quinn didn't tip or fall over or even give up on herself!  Here is hoping that day two yields the same (or better) results!  Go, Quinn, go!
