Savannah has been wanting to learn to ride her bike for a couple of years. But she was very nervous, and it didn't help that we live on a sloped street. She's been practicing lately, but was always going too fast downhill or had a hard time getting fast enough to go uphill. On Thanksgiving after my parents left I took Savannah and Connor over to the school parking lot to practice. After about a minute she was riding on her own. Way to go Savannah!
Connor is very fearful about some things and has always been terrified of any bike taller than a big wheel. He finally overcame that fear and was loving riding all over the parking lot. I was so proud of both of them.
If you went to elementary school in the 80's you might remember this. It's called the "Flying Turtle" and I remember using them in P.E. It's an old school version of a plasma car, but you have to work even harder. I found this one at a yard sale and the kids love it, although they mostly just like to ride it down the hill and then carry it back up.
