We're working on becoming better bike riders. We fell victim to the scooter frenzy, which requires much less actual coordination, and is closer to the ground, which led to a real preference for scooter over bike by Sam. It doesn't help to live on a hill. So, we've been going to parking lots to practice riding. Kate, on the other hand, LOVES to ride her bike. I warned Sam that Kate was going to be ready to take her training wheels off soon, so I think he's inspired to work a little harder.
They are both really getting so much better at it-- I thought we'd never accomplish bikes. It was already on my bad mom list. I knew they could never be Rhodes scholars, because navigating Oxford would be impossible for my kids. I could hear it: "Yeah, I can't ride a bike because my mom didn't teach me when I was younger. Otherwise, I'd be studying physics instead of working at this McDonalds." Just blame the mom. Everyone else does.
