We got Owen a bike when he turned 4 but he never liked riding it and really had some trouble with it. I never pushed it as he just didn't want to. But I have noticed a couple times now that he has been embarrassed he couldn't ride a bike around others his age that could. Our neighbors were upgrading to a bigger bike so gave us their old bike. Owen was very excited to have a big boy bike and took right to it. He was so proud and excited! At first he wanted a little push and a gentle hand here and there when he got nervous. And now day two he rode it to the playground this morning, to the pool this afternoon and after dinner around the block. He has the confident now and a great bike. So excited he has finally accomplished this skill.
Yay! Good job, Owen.
