No more training wheels!! This literally happened in about 3 days of practicing without them, although I think Will has been doing a lot of balancing with his training wheels for awhile. What really helped was the Bike Buddy (onestepahead.com for $15). A friend of mine recommended it and said her son learned to ride in a weekend with this thing. Poor Mark had been holding on to Will's seat, having to squat down and try to run along with him at the same time---not so easy on the leg muscles. The Bike Buddy made it so much easier for Mark to hold on comfortably. Will tried it on his bike last Monday and then he did a few more laps around the circle one day this week. Mark just let go this morning and off he went!! Now Drew is desperate to do the same.
Way to go Will!!! And i am sure we will be cheering on Drew at some point this summer too!
