Bike Rider

It is an exciting time at the Otto house. Charlie can ride a bike without training wheels. We started him on a Strider bike a year ago. It is a little bike without pedals. The purpose is to teach balance first. The hope is then when the pedals are introduced they learn to pedal and off they go without training wheels. Now that the weather is nice we decided it was time to try him on a bike with pedals. He took about 10 minutes of practice and he was riding the bike. Now he can get started, turned around and ready all by himself. It is a new freedom for him and he can keep up with the big kids! It is so exciting to see it all unfold. He is only 3 and looks like such a little boy on a bike.
