Beau suggested that we go for a bike ride on Monday evening after Lincoln's soccer practice. It was a beautiful evening, so we went for a bike ride around the neighborhood. Actually, only one of us went on a bike ride . . . Beau abandoned his bike three seconds from our house Lincoln was super happy to got on a late evening ride around the block.
So Beau was the instigator of the bike ride, but he completely bailed when it was time for him pedal along with his new training wheels bike. Luckily, he joined Mommy in jogging along with Lincoln pedaling fast down the street.
After dinner on Tuesday night, we headed out for another bike ride. Lincoln is looking super cute in his helmet. He's become the most confident bike-rider lately. This daily practice is going great.
So we got Beau's bike out to so he could ride with Lincoln, but he changed his mind to run around the block. When we got back to the house, Mommy insisted that he pedal himself around the block a few times. He was pretty good on his own, but he slowed down and needed a push a few times. It was definitely the longest pedaling he's done, so we'll keep working on that.
On our third trip around the block, Lincoln got a little fun/creative with his legs! He discovered that his bike would keep going even though his legs weren't on the pedals. Super fun!
Cool biking weather is short and sweet in Texas, so we are taking advantage as much as we can. It's great that Lincoln is getting so much more confident on his big kid bike (no elbow/knee pads), and Beau needs to keep up his confidence/effort on pedaling his 4 year old bike with training wheels. We will keep the neighbors entertained with our biking adventures for a while.
