Progress

[rikibeth]

She can hold her balance well enough on the grass to ride until the ground resistance makes it too hard to pedal.

So she was confident enough to try it on asphalt, which is harder to fall on, but easier to push off on.

She can now push off by herself and stay riding for three houses' distance.

Next issue: STEERING.

My oldest was late learning to ride a bike as well. We first took off her training wheels when she was seven and our son was three. She had a steering glitch and ran straight into a fence, REALLY hard. Jacob was the one who was the first to react. He took off yelling, "Sandy, Sandy! Are you okay? Bad bike! Bad bike!" He actually kicked the bicycle because he was so angry that his sister was hurt. It was rather sweet.
