SKnot rode the Commutermobile!
My little baby rode an adult sized bike!
Granted it was only 10 minutes, and it was around the school track, but he did it!! I let him decide when we would go home, because I didn't want to push him and have him give up on biking again.
As we walked home he said he felt really good and liked riding!
So, now I hope I can get him to ride around the track a little bit each evening as I either walk or run around. Slowly but steadily... He did say that biking was one of "his" sports, so even though he's a reluctant rider he thinks of himself as a cyclist.
Awww, I'm so happy!
(BTW: I thought I'd have to lower the saddle, but he could sit and touch the ground flat-footed! The kid has longer legs than me already! He didn't want me to raise the seat, that's fine. I just want him to ride and if he wants to touch the ground for now, that's fine.)

DS#1, same age as Sknot, took over DH's Trek last summer. My son did not inherit long legs from me.
Wish me luck!
