As I write this, I'm feeling that maybe we need to enroll Henry in soccer, baseball or some other sport--we're a bit to bike focused right now. I finally found a used balance bike on Friday and we're guessing that Henry's already logged 3 miles on it if not more. Usually he rides it while Derek walks/jogs with Zoe. Then they have to stop for me to catch up (or I stay at home).
Part of the reason for logging so much time on the bike is that the city had a special event this weekend where major streets are shut down to cars and people can bike/run/walk/rollerblade on them. There is food, obstacle courses, music, kids activities, etc. Unfortunately, my non-biking riding pregnant state kept me at home so I can only experience it through the pictures and the stories from Henry and Derek. I'm very sad I missed it since Henry had a blast on the bike obstacle course (see pics below). Thankfully, there is another event scheduled for later this summer that I hope to make it to.
First ride on the "new" balance bike on the bike path near our house.
Henry enjoying the open road with some other cyclists.
Part of the obstacle course.
Notice the ducking even though he had about 2 feet of clearance.
Up and over the ramp.
I'm not sure how many laps Henry did of the course but Derek guessed about 9 or 10 times. (followed by a long nap this afternoon.)
