Bike Riding

Today we decided to see how the bikes were fitting the kids.  I thought maybe we would get Megan a bike for her birthday, but then thought that she would probably fit on Josh's bike.  Then Josh would need to fit on Tyler's bike and then we would have to get Tyler a new bigger bike.  So Tony lowered the seat on Josh's bike and Megan fit pretty well on it and she was able to push the peddles pretty well.

It will take some work and practice on her part but she was able to do it.  She liked to keep pushing backwards with her feet on the peddles to make the bike break, so that was annoying.  But she'll get it.   She did get tired of doing that bike and went back to her bike that she has being riding since last Spring.  She was able to peddle that bike really well all by herself, so that was good to see.  I think she'll pick up the bigger bike in no time.

Josh did not want to even try to ride Tyler's bike because he didn't want to ride a two-wheeler.  After pretty much making him try, it didn't take him long to figure it out and start riding by himself.  He was able to turn really well but he would forget to peddle sometimes and then his go to response was to steer himself into the grass and fall over (that's what he does on his scooter).  But Tony worked with him on using his breaks and then putting his foot down to balance the bike.  He still isn't in love with the two-wheeler, but he will get there.
