We have been noticing Camden on his bike for a little while now. He has had his training wheels on and rides like a pro. He stands up while riding and is quite brave. Last week Mike got out his tools and told Camden he was going to work on his bike. Mike took off the first training wheel and had Camden ride down the driveway with that. Camden thought it was a piece of cake. Mike then continued to take off the other training wheel. Camden was actually excited until he couldn't balance. This clip is of him trying to figure things out.
I tried to convince Mike that he needed to hold on to Camden's bike and run with him. He wasn't convinced. Instead he started him off and pushed him. Cam ran into a bush and got a little scratch. But he continued to try. He was really good at riding on the bike while pushing with his feet.
The next day we walked over to the church where he could go everywhere and boy did he. The whole way he was still a little scared and walking with his bike. After I held on and pushed a few times he got it. It was awesome. He figured out how to start and balance so fast. We still have problems with stopping. He tends to use his feet instead of the petals but in less than a day he is a pro now. Check it out.
Camden is free! He loves to be like the big kids and ride everywhere now. He is my first to ride so early. There are some good things about having older siblings. It's a great motivation.
Way to go Camden!
