My Tiger, 7, has learned to ride a bike!  Last summer, we took her training wheels off while camping, hoping the big area would help her learn.  Her Uncle R ran beside her for quite a long time trying to get her to balance.  She would always wobble.  He suggested we take her to a grassy hill, to help her get momentum, yet be soft enough for falls.  It took awhile, but we finally went this week.  I can't believe how easy it was for her!  I gave her a little push down the hill, (we started close to the bottom) and she just took off!  She had to practice stopping right, and turning, which she did.  She had a hard time getting started without a push, so I told her she could practice in the back yard at home.  Yesterday, she spent almost every spare moment on her bike out back, riding in circles around the yard!  I used to love riding my bike and I can almost feel the thrill of her newly learned "freedom"!  She'll be riding with the big guys in Yosemite this year!

A push from Mommy:

And she's off!

Still going!

Happy girl!
