Now there are many things that could happen in a day to make it "perfect". But for a bike keen dad something like your first born learning to ride a bike on their own, would have to rank right up there. For those who read a recent post "kids on bikes" today was like pay day. At my boy's request he asked for his pedals to be put back on as he had decided that his scooting days were over and today he was going to ride. Sure enough within mintues he was on the pedals balancing and off on his own steam. I got to admit I got a bit teary after yelling cheers so the whole neighbourhood could hear. After a few laps of our street, ideal due to being closed to through traffic, Jonathan came to the following conclusion. "See Dad, soon I will be riding with cars and climbing mountains with you." I tell you my heart was bursting with pride.
So here is "cheers" to Jonathan, well on his way to a lifetime I pray of fun on a bike.
Congratulations Jonathan. 1:20 won't be far away.
