Calvin had I have been in a bitter battle over his learning to ride a bike. While after a few knock 'em down drage 'em out brawls to start the summer he's been riding the bike he got two years ago... as slowly as a bike can be ridden (actually he's been going even slower than you just pictured).
As of today he is now biking at a normal speed that you would expect of a human child. Thank god for the phenomenon known as skidding.
Next on the agenda is getting the above beaut ($5 garage sale style) in operation. Tonight he was willing to get on it just so I could check that the seat was the right height. Calvin thinks I'm one of those Dad's who would just let go when he gets some speed up.
