My son Armand hasn't spent as much time riding a bike as I did as a kid — but times are different, and so is our lifestyle. However, this summer he spent two weeks with his grandparents who excitedly decided to teach Armand how to ride a two-wheeler. It was a great plan as far as Armand was concerned — at 7, anything related to "big kids" is a winner in his book!

When the big day arrived, he donned helmet and shin guards and his Oma took him out for his first session. It was hard! Perserverence isn't exactly the hallmark of the young, let alone the younger generation, so Armand will be working on his biking skills some more in the future. In fact, as soon as we can get his bike from his grandparents (and when I get a bike for myself), I forsee many lovely fall Saturdays and Sundays spent exploring the fantastic bike paths around town.
