John Rides a Bike

For almost 2 years John has been convincing himself he couldn't ride a bike.  It's been down right ridiculous.  Debbie told him that if he learned how to ride a two-wheeler by August, he could pick out a new bike for his birthday.  That didn't even keep him from being so skeptical about the whole ordeal.

But Memorial Day was nice and sunny and many of our neighbors were running around outside.  John came in and declared that he needed me to take his training wheels off.  Right. that. second.

 After a little help and encouragement...

 and a few bumps in the road...

He finally started riding on his own!

That night he asked me if I could get him "some sort of bike magazine" so he could pick out his new bike.
