Bike Me

We decided that it was time to teach Jacob how to ride a bike without training wheels. To prepare him for the experience, we first took off the training wheels and the petals on the bike. So he can just practice balancing on the bike. Two days later, we put the peddles back on. We were prepared to have to coax him on the bike and hold him up as he tried to balance on his bike.

So as we put his helmet and all the pads on him, thinking that he will be scared. Jacob just got on the bike and took off. He fell in about 2 feet, got up and took off again. Joe had to run after him since Jacob was going so fast. So much for all of our preparation.

I didn't learn how to ride a bike until I was 12 years old. I remember my neighbors laughed at me since I still had training wheels on. So I guess Jacob didn't take after his mom.

Yeah, because you have sub human strength.

And negative pain threshold, Jacob definitely did not take after you.
