Look Ma! No Training Wheels!


Ok, so it's not that exciting. But there are a couple interesting things to notice in this video. Quinn gets pretty excited when Ginger shows up right before he makes the attempt. Quinn bikes across the cul-de-sac without training wheels. I apparently look like an idiot when I run and to top it off I have horrible fashion sense.

Yay, Quinn! Nice ride across the cul-de-sac. Jasper and I did a race Sunday, and he was second in the 5 to 6-yr old group; I bailed out after one lap because of the lousy weather.

James, adjust the brake levers on Quinn's bike so they point downward at a 45-degree angle (4-o-clock); they're not useful sticking straight up at 12-o-clock.

You look like you need to be on What Not to Wear on TLC.

Good job Quinn!

Cool, thanks for the advice Scott. And who in world beat Jasper?

And I figured if Jasper can ride without training wheels at 4 and 1/2 it was past time Quinn started learning how. I didn't try taking off the pedals (that was my fallback plan).
