Bike Riding 101

This weekend we decided it's time to urge Nathan to ride his bike. Yes, it's late for this sort of thing; usually toddlers are riding bikes by about 18 months or so. Well, not our Nater! He is a budding perfectionist, so I've seen the bike riding attempt coming but put it off, knowing he would get frustrated rather quickly and move on to bigger and better feats of greatness. I decided the best place to start would be at a deserted parking lot where there would be limited distractions and Nathan could concentrate on his bike, rather than running off to a slide or a swing, if we were to bring his first biking attempt to a park. Anyway, on with the show...


Here is Daddy beginning his attempt at Bike Riding 101...

"Feet on the pedals...
Hands just so....
Now push with your feet...
and GO GO GO!"


Oops...feet fell off. Let's try this again. Here's how you do it...feet on the pedals...


Or...um....not so much...


Enough of THAT! "I have better things to do!"
