The Training Wheels are OFF!

This weekend, Coleman's daddy took off the training wheels and taught him to ride his bike! Day 1 was a little rough- with a few good wipeouts. He could make it a little ways, but kept forgetting to petal. By Day 2, things were a little easier. Jim pumped up his tires a little bit, raised his seat and told him he was going to ride before he could go to bed. He did it! Coleman was cruising in spite of the Kansas wind which kicked in (up to 40mph in our area). He could ride with the wind, then stopped to walk it back against the wind. Here are a couple photos along with quick videos from both days. He's so excited!

Coleman,I remember learning to ride a bike with no training wheels too, and I was older than you are. You are SO brave.

Love,
