Donovan Learns To Ride His Bike

Now that school is out there has been increasing pressure on me to get Donovan’s bike into working order so that he can learn to ride it with his brother David. So I spent some time this morning working on getting his bike operational. The hand brake doesn’t work right but the pedal brake is definitely functional so I figured he’d be okay.

Michelle was so excited that the bike was working that she didn’t hesitate to help Donovan with his first bike lesson. He picked things up pretty quickly. We went to the park behind our house and put him on the bike; we believe in “on the job” training. Next he was instructed to pedal and steer (simple and straight-forward instructions). It took about 3 trips up and down the park path before Donovan really had the hang of it. A few more trips and Donovan was able to start and stop on his own! So it took about 30 minutes for him to learn how to ride a bike! Good job Donovan!


Thanks for the bike riding lessons mommy!
