Rollin' Along on TWO Wheels

Looky here - we have a new two wheel riding bike-aholic! Two years ago, D took a horrible spill on her bike, scraping her whole left side - lots of owies and lots of bandages. Well the skin healed but the mental scar stayed around. No matter how much we rode bikes with her, she just couldn't get the confidence to attempt any sort of speed and balance and depended overly on those noisy training wheels. However, over the last week (now that we have consistent good weather) D has been begging to ride her bike daily. She started going faster, faster than I felt comfortable with, and staying balanced on her wheels with barely using the training wheels. So on Saturday, A encouraged her and took off those training wheels and then proceeded to run up and down the block just for moral support. He said that she took off that first time and didn't need him again!
