Kids on bikes

Just had an awesome extra long weekend and Easter at Barwon Heads.  Not begrudgingly I did leave my bike at home and took instead both the kids bikes.  I really wanted to give them the best chance to get some confidence on the bike and I was wrapped at the outcome.



Firstly, removing the pedals off Jonathan's bike giving him the freedom  to "scoot" along.  This gave him a sense of balance on the bike and in fact gave him a fair bit of speed on the footpaths, terrorising weekenders and locals alike.  He was quick to point out some pretty dodgy handbrakes and encouraged me to spend some time maintaining his bike as much as I did mine. 

Sunday bunch ride

 Teesh was just a star on her bike.  Now a bit taller and able to reach and push the pedals with more confidence.  She still wanted me walking alongside her which usually mean me push her.  But she soon worked out to really get moving she needed to push.  So morning and afternoon the kids were keen to do another lap of the Heads, including the new pedestrian bridge across the river.

Riding across the new bridge.

7am ride.  Got the bridge to ourselves!

  Looking forward to many more rides with my most treasured little bunch!
