HOOOOOOORAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!
The bike bug has bitten....
My brother (13, lives with my husband and I, and my dad) will NOT do a "regular bike" -- he's BMX only. He likes to ride on trails with us, but constantly complains. He just can't admit he needs a "normal" bike, that'd be SO uncool
Congrats on your 13-year old victory... enjoy them whenever you can get them!

Hey KnottedYet,
When you mentioned SKnot in one of your posts the other day it reminded me of this thread. How's he liking his bike?

missed this thread before - that is so great that he wanted a bike!!! PP has a couple of bikes (plus the tandem), but we don't ride with her nearly as much as we should. gotta do more.

He's slowly getting the hang of it. We ride at the school track still. He doesn't have the control to ride on the bike trails or streets yet. He's still enthusiastic, but not doing much riding.
He really enjoyed cleaning and lubing his chain.

That's great! It was a couple of months before we felt comfortable enough with Gavin's skills to take him on the paths or bike lanes, but he eventually got enough control of the bike. Now we're starting all over with dd and she goes back and forth between wanting her training wheels off. DS#2 just asked for a bike last week so we picked one up for him as well. It's contagious!!
