E finally decided to shed the training wheels from her lovely purple bike. After 9 days of practice without them and no major mishaps, she was eager to go for a “really long” family bike ride on the Greenways around our house. We saddled up the whole fandamily and took off for a bike adventure. E is not too confident on hills yet, so she walked up and down them. She had a great time zipping through the puddles left by a big storm the day before, and marvelled at how fast she could get her bike going (measured at a blistering 10 kph!). Her brother was satisfied to ride in the Chariot for the whole 6km ride.
We’ve ridden these paths and streets before with both kids in the Chariot, but I’m amazed at how E’s mental map of the neighbourhood is growing as she rides with us farther afield. I think she is hooked on bicycling. She talks about her bike all the time, and wants to get a tandem so she can ride really fast with Dad. Fun times!
