A year later, his little pink bike was stolen. A week after the theft, as we were about to head out on the rear-steer, he saw someone riding a gold bike and said, "Hey, there goes my bike." We followed it and reclaimed it. Shortly after that, we learned that he is color blind, which is probably why the change from pink to gold didn't affect his ability to recognize the bike.

What are the odds - I just walked out the front door to ask my wife a question, and my son went riding by on two wheels (he is also 6), for the first time.

Nothing beats riding with my kids (8, 5 & 3) for me. I think we got our last ride in yesterday before the weather keeps us away but if we get another sunny weekend we'll be out there together for sure.

Very cool story. I love readig stuff like this
I remember my first ride with my nephew and how much fun it was watching him smile and push to get that last mile in so he could say e rode 10 miles. That was one of my shorter rides that summer (2007) but my best ride ever.
