Well I am finnally adding to this blog. Wesley, sorry it has taken so long. I haven’t really been riding much, so I wasn’t sure what to add. Well, I’m still not riding much, but Doug and I did just give his niece and nephew bikes for Christmas. It was really cool. Gabe is 8 and Maggie is 6. They’ve both had smaller bikes with training wheels, but we didn’t put them on either of the new bikes. They were both really excited. Gabe was a little nervous about the prospect of learning to balance without training wheels. Maggie on the other hand had the attitude down. Her first reaction was, “I can balance it!” They couldn’t be more different in some ways. In terms of skill, Gabe should be ready, but like I said before Maggie’s got the attitude. Any suggestions of how to help teach them on the new two-wheelers?

Well now that it’s is the new year and time for resolutions, not only will I be helping the kids ride their bikes, I also have to get out on my bike more. I can’t even use the excuse of weather, because this has been one of the most mild winters we’ve had in a long time. Hopefully it will continue to be mild so I can continue to have no good excuse not to get out on my bike.
