Davis's First Bike (ok Trike)

Watch out folks Davis coming through

We had a big weekend with family in town for Chris's graduation. One important part of the weekend was a trip to Target to pick out Davis's first tricycle. He has been able to ride on them at daycare and whenever he sees kids on bikes he points and says, "bike". After looking at all the options Granddady Newlin splurged on this awesome Radio Flyer Tricyle. We splurged on the cool helmet (safety first... trying to establish good habits!).

Davis was thrilled when we got the bike assembled. He jumped right on and tried to pedal.


His feet reach the pedals but he has not been able to master pedaling yet..... He loves to have you push him around. Here Pappy Stickley is giving him his first pushes.

Pappy taking Davis for a spin around the yard... Yes we got the version with the adult steering bar. It looks silly BUT man it comes in handy. No back breaking pushing. We have been able to push him around the block and go on walks and he loves it. It is helpful to be able to steer because Davis does not always keep his eyes on the road and he sometimes over compensates or steers off course.

Pappy teaching him the proper bell ringing technique.

Thank you Gran and Granddaddy Newlin.... I love coming home and getting to ride my bike.
