He did it!

 

Truen decided it was time. This spring. Seven years old.

Time to learn to ride a bike.

 And by golly, he did it.  It took him two days --

First he rode down the front walk, learning how to balance and steer.

After awhile he added pedaling and voilà! He did it.

He has been riding so much since that his little buns hurt.

He named his bike "Bird Wheel" and rides for hours every day.

It is a another dumpster-diving treasure I dug out the summer of 2007,

a few months before he was even born.
And now he's riding it.
