We were able to find a bike for just a few dollars at a yard sale earlier this year. Piper always wants to ride the neighbors bike when we are walking but she has always been to small. She likes her little three wheel trike but the pedals are so far in front that she can't reach them and thus had not learned how to use them. Frequently she will ask to ride her bike and will climb on the "big" bike but lose interest when Mom won't push her on it. In my current condition it gets difficult to bend for long periods of time:( Anyway, after a few minutes of sitting on the big bike she usually decides the small bike is better because she can move it herself. Well last week we were again outside riding bikes. She of course climbed on the big bike and I once again told her how to work the pedals and pushed her feet around a few times and she GOT it! she then spent about an hour riding her bike around. She had to ride over to the neighbors house and show them what she could do and then when we got back to our house she had to go knock on another neighbors door and tell him to come and see what she had learned. Later that day when Daddy got home from work she was so excited to show him that we again went outside and rode the bike while Daddy watched for a few minutes and then got distracted while talking on the phone. Here is the video of Piper riding her "big" bike. Enjoy!
