Teaching Matthew to ride a bike was one of the hardest, most frustrating & nerve wracking experiences of my life. There were days when that bloody bike threatened to tear the very fabric of our family to pieces and we all came home in foul moods, grumpy from the heat, frustration & skinned knees. But today we watched him ride around the path at the river and down the slope (that only yesterday afternoon had him in a panic) and discovered that it was also one of the most gratifying and rewarding experiences as well. Definitely a proud parent moment.Well done, Boy. xx

Great! Well done Matthew!!
Whoohoo, no trainer wheels! That's fantastic Shannon, well done Matthew!
I can only hope one day we leave behind the girly screams and the all-limbs-off-bike approach we have ATM when we attempt something other than a flat path (and that's WITH trainer wheels, LOL)
Oh don't worry - he's still very good at doing that too if it gets scary! He's got three brakes on his new bike yet would instead prefer to just bail off over the side when the going gets tough...
Oh, congratulations to Matthew.
Want to come and teach a nearly 7 year old now?
Still trying to figure out where you live, am sure it is close to me ;)
