Zach rides BY HIMSELF!

And I was there! I set him up on the wife MTB at a seldom used paved path. He was scooting around, one foot on the ground one on a pedal. I said try pedaling and he rode away!..And back,… I was horrified as he wizzed by me at about 15 mph after a few minutes…(kept my mouth shut*)

Later he hooked the handle bar on a railing on a foot bridge and got his first bike related road rash. Bike gloves and helmet protected his hands and coconut but his knee has a big red badge. He got right back on a rode for another 20 minutes.

:bear: happy for my boy.

  • one of the hardest things I’ve done.

that is awesome! congrats

edit: i taught myself how to ride a bike when i was 18 and change (about 18 months ago) and it was one of the most gratifying experiences of my life

Awesome!

Similar but different I looked over and saw my daughter pedaling and steering her tricycle, usually one of us is there encouraging her but this time she was all alone. I was pretty amped.

so awesome! congrats, Zach!!!

Yes, congrats to all who learn to ride! :bear: :bear: :bear: Seeing him ride off, so good. I thought it was beyond him…

I’ve got a DMR Dirt jump frame I’m going to build up single speed up for him.

This is such a big step of freedom and Independence for all of us. Those first strokes brought me back to my first.

First I was stoked and then I was envious. First bike is a DJ singlespeed? HFY.
