Riding without Training Wheels

Kai has been wanting so bad to learn to ride his bike without training wheels, but you know it's kind of a pain to walk along behind him, so we have been putting it off. Then the neighbor came over the other day and said she had a sure fire way of ditching the training wheels in a matter of days. She said to take off the training wheels and pedals and let him just sit on it and walk it around. It made sense in my head so we took him to the church parking lot to give it a try. After about 20 minutes of walking it around, we put the (correction, this should be pedals, not training wheels) training wheels back on and he looked like he'd been riding for months, not minutes. It was amazing, so if you or your kid are ready to ditch the training wheels, give this a try.

That's amazing! I would have never thought to do that. I'll have to remember that for the future.
