Aaron here. Ever since the weather took a turn for the better a couple of weeks ago, Henry has begged to ride his bike at least once a day. Our new neighbor John, seen in the video, is super friendly, a bike enthusiast and expert, and has often helped when Henry has been practicing. As you can see, John was just as excited as we were!
Hank started the spring with training wheels on, but that's no way to learn how to balance, so we took those off pretty quick. After a couple days of Henry awkwardly trying to walk around on the bike, the peddles came off, and then he really started to learn. After a couple days of walking the bike with small steps, he started to glide for short distances, then medium distances, then to long stretches around 30 feet including balance corrections. So today the peddles went back on, and he took right off. Laura wasn't home from work quite yet for his first few laps around the cul-de-sac, but got to pull in to the sight of Henry zooming around on his own.
Henry, may you never lose your enthusiasm and desire to try and learn new things.
