bicycling

Hello,

My daughter is learning how to ride a bike w/out training wheels and her left hand and fingers do not open so her hand keeps slipping off the handlebar. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep her on hand on the handlebar?

Re: things to do in Houston

Thanks for all the suggestions! I really appreciate it!
I found the website for the aquarium and they said that they had rides? Is that true? I went to downtownaquarium.com and went to the houston website.

insurance denied NMES unit

I was wondering if anyone has UHC POS insurance and received an NMES unit? I was denied coverage for the unit and was wondering if anyone had it covered under UHC for their child? I'm going to appeal but was just curious. Thanks!
