An Exciting Afternoon
Despite the 90-plus degree temps today, the kids and I took an outing to an area middle school for a bike-riding lesson. Our not-so-little guy was just about ready to roll on his own, but it's hard to help him build confidence on city streets with bumpy sidewalks and ramps onto and off of the street.
So we took to the track, which had been freshly re-paved, adding to the sweltering heat. Back and forth we rode on one of the 100-meter straightaways, having better luck with balance when the strong winds were at our backs. And quickly, I was running along beside him, reaching out only every so often for a minor course correction. He did it! Even starting and stopping.
Don't tell anyone we forgot his helmet at home.
