Mobility on 2+2 Wheels

SteelyKid has a new prize possession: a training-wheel bike!

On the way back, she wiped out (the first bad crash on the new bike) and has been much more cautious since. But she's practicing a lot (around the neighborhood, in the Field House, around the neighborhood again...), and will hopefully gain confidence.

Here's hoping your weekend brought you something a tenth as much fun...

Next you'll get to teach her how to repair the bike, and in ten years you'll find her arm deep in lithium grease and bearings.
