If it had been left to me, Charlie would still be riding in circles around parking lots..... Good luck to Eleanor with the gears!

Give Charlie a kiss for his achievement, and Jim one too while you're at it. He's doing an excellent job as a cycling instructor. Has he ever thought about writing up the process? I'm sure lots of people would be interested. Eleanor's working on gears too, but I don't know if it's going as well (which gives away that hubby is the one teaching her). Very nice.

That was when Charlie was turning 7 and away they went..... I think having the bike in 7th gear may be proprioceptive---Charlie maybe liking the feeling of control from pushing "hard" and "deep"----if the bike were on 1, a scary thought!

We're jealous since TH can't even keep the bike in balance with training wheels on. I am so impressed that Charlie can ride at all that I was just telling my husband about it at lunch today.

Interesting that he likes 7th and the hard pedaling. Wonder if it's a proprioceptive thing? I have confidence that Charlie will master the gears in time.
