Bike riding with friends is always better than by yourself... that is the lesson I learned yesterday. We bought Caroline her bike when she was almost three years old. She would not ride it until yesterday when her friend Addi brought her bike to the park and Caroline had her bike. Caroline would ride a little in the driveway but pretty much as soon as she hit the brake (which happened after three pedals forward) she was done. Peer pressure can be a good thing. Caroline wanted to bring her big wheel and ride it but I told her she could not get it out of the car until after she rode her bike for a while. Well, Addi rides and rides and rides... so Caroline rode for a little over an hour with Addi!!! She did so great, I was so proud of her for keeping up with Addi plus she forgot about the big wheel.
Here is a video of her biking. This was at the beginning before Addi went very fast so Caroline was in the lead. By the end Addi was more comfortable and would leave Caroline behind... Caroline is still learning not to pedal backwards because it puts the brakes on.
