Been off the boards for awhile, but I just had to share with people who would understand what a big deal this is. Can't believe it but my daughter Renee finally learned to ride without the training wheels. She is 8 yrs old and we have tried for the past 2 years but she wasn't ready. This year I think she really wanted to do it because some of her classmates were mocking her out because she still had training wheels. We moved the training wheels up so they weren't touching the ground unless the bike really leaned and let her ride like that for a few days. Then tonight she asked me to take them off and away she went, as if she had been riding 2 wheeled for a long time. Boy was I proud!!!!!!!!

HOOOORAY for Renee!!
I was 13 before I mastered my bike.

Hugs all around,

YAY! I only got rid of mine at age 9, before that I could just not balance on two wheels!

Woo-hooo! One of many dreams that will come true for Renee! CONGRATULATIONS!

I love anybody that rides a bike. Congradulations! JJ

Doesn't that feel great??? My son, Joshua is almost 10 and he just learned how to ride his bike this Spring as well. We had pretty much given up on it, but he gave it a try, and after an afternoon over at the high school track he was doing great!! Such a huge deal! we even went out to eat that night to his favorite restaurant. Congratulations!!!!
