New Bike

A got his first bike this weekend. We don't really have anywhere to ride a bike for him safely, so we've put it off for awhile. Our house is on a hill, the sidewalks are hilly and bulging in spots, and we don't have a garage, so our cars are always in the driveway.

Anyway, we went to a friend's garage sale and got one that still had the tag on it Saturday. A got on it in their driveway and immediately fell over...the first of many falls. T lowered the seat for him and he's much more comfortable now. We went down to the church parking lot, a block away, and rode for the first time. He's pretty comfortable on it now and rides circles around the deck a lot. Still falls down a lot, but gets right back up and keeps going.

He named his bike. It's "Bikey," and he talks to it. And yesterday he gave it a shower. Scrubbed it up with a washcloth even...reminds me of a movie I saw in 1985 (PeeWee's Big Adventure, for those of you that don't know me THAT well).

He wanted to get a picture of him doing a thumbs up.

He's making a tough biker dude face here
