My 7 year old asked for a new bike today. So the deal was that the new bike would not have training wheels, we can get it when she's ready. Off came the training wheels and she taught herself how to ride in about 3 sessions in front of the house. I seem to remember it taking me forever, so I was pretty impressed. She started coasting down a small incline for about half a block. Then she tried to self start on flat ground. She had a little trouble getting started, so I helped a couple of times. Then I ran errands for a while and apparently she went out with my wife and figured the rest out. Now she's pedaling, braking, throwing her weight around. All she has left to do is get out of the saddle.

Guess who's getting a new bike tomorrow.
