Willem Can Ride a Bike!

We are not very proactive about teaching our kids to ride bikes without training wheels. We don't have the easiest place to learn because we live on a busy road and the driveway has lots of truck traffic during the day. So our kids don't ride bikes very much except in the evenings in the summer when the dairy is quieter and safer for them to ride. This past week Willem's class participated in a bike/trike-a-thon fundraiser and it was clear that when Willem rode his bike with old bent training wheels, he wasn't really using the training wheels much. So when he got home that evening, he tried riding without training wheels and a few minutes later he was a pro!

Here's the proud bike rider...

And a video to memorialize his unassisted bike riding (yes, we know he needs a bigger bike :). Way to go Willem...
