On riding a bike...
When learning to ride a bike...always take the necessary precautions for the precarious adventure ahead.
1. Put your helmet on...even before riding...just in case you fall down while "walking" the bike out.
2. Check the tires and make sure they aren't flat...
you can check again if you want to stall the learning process or if you're just nervous...
and if you really want to take your time...
"pretend" to pump the tires up while your little brother watches on.
3. When finally secure about the air pressure in your tires, have a "professional" wheel it into position.
4. Assume the proper riding stance.
5. Receive the "balance" pep talk.
6. Say a little prayer.
7. And you're off...
a little bumpy...
but with a steady hand at the ready...
and a patient, loving Daddy to guide you...
you'll be on your own in no time! :-)
