Riding bikes

The boys love riding their little bikes lately. They ride them around the house every day. They are funny with the way they ride them, they usually stand and just walk with their legs over the bike. They haven’t got the concept of pushing with two feet at once and letting the wheels do the work.

They are little plastic bikes with no steering control. You have to lift the front wheels to change direction. They are starting to get quite good control of the bike and the steering. so we’ve started taking them outside to ride in the back yard. They had a great time in the yard yesterday.

We have a small relatively steep slope in the yard, and the boys have become dare devils and will ride their bikes down the slope. This was the first time they actually lifted their feet and let the wheels take them. They thought it was great fun!!!!!!
