bike pic is great- there are many great ones on the thread.
i just bought a superzoom and am trying to learn how to take pictures. it's been a good distraction while i recover from surgery, but the surgery was on my hand, which makes manipulation of the camera hard.

Love the bike pic! After using the Striders, my boys learned how to ride real bikes, sans training wheels, in about 5 minutes (when they turned 4!).

same here, first kid used likeabike from 2-3, when i put him on the bike i just got him to coast down a gentle hill and experiment w pedaling.
second kid rejected likeabike in favor of training wheels, took her way longer, like an extra season.

yeah hard to tell how long she'll be on the strider and how the transition to a real bike will go ... her balance is pretty much all there, guess it's just figuring out how to pedal.

OMG, August's sitting up already?!
A whizzed around on his balance bike but when we bought him a pedal bike he was a teeny bit too small for it and it put him off it for ages. When he finally agreed to have a go on it he was off and away after about 5 mins of slowly trying it out.
I have no idea where my babies went

Adding to the bike madness. It's a pedal bike with training wheels. I advocated for a balance bike, but economics ultimately won out when we found this for $30 at a consignment shop. She's been watching her brother zoom around and trying to pick up other big kids' bmx bikes when we're at the playground. Not pedalling yet, but we push her around on it and she gets the biggest grin on her face.

Had a moment like that with my 8-year-old last weekend. We were having a party with the whole extended family and I caught a glimpse of him through a window, lurking outside in the rain, wearing all black with fingerless gloves. Why are you lurking? Where did you get fingerless gloves? Where did you get the idea to wear fingerless gloves?
