Lucy was able to ride a 2-wheeler (without training wheels) at 2 years old. We refrained from letting her until she was 3, when we figured she had more balance and a better ability to judge distance etc. Since then she has been biking our 5km run route and doing jumps with Sebastien. She loves biking! She has worn out several bikes in the last 3 years and for her birthday we got her a "gears bike". Dad gave her a basket to go on the front which is "perfect for taking my Zhu Zhus for rides". In fact the first thing she did was hook it up and settle the Zhu Zhu pets (Dad had just given her... she wanted them for about 18 months but her mean mother never got her one) into the basket with a blanket and then she was OFF! Oops, I forgot to mention that as soon as she saw the bike she ran straight into her bedroom to "put on some good biking clothes" (a swimsuit?? I am nobody to give fashion advice but still...) and then she disappeared on her bike.
That is our white house and fence you can see in the background, and Sebastien is zooming in the other direction. We live on a dead-end so it is quite safe for the kids to be out on the road. I'm not sure what Dom is trying to tell her... probably something boring about slowing down, or wearing a helmet.
Yahoo! Look at me Mama!
These photos are out of order - this is Lucy tearing off down our (earthquake cracked - and no, don't even ask, we are about a year away from the insurance doing anything) paving. Don't you love the look in her eye that says "I AM SPEED!"
