New Bike

Over the winter Chance's bike got hit by the elements. It had become rusty and lost one of it's training wheels so we were planning to get him a new one when the weather warmed up but when we went to test drive some new bikes and realized he had grown so much that he was ready for the next size up we knew we would have had to get him a new bike anyway.

The first one we purchased had a bent frame which we didn't notice till we got it home and started putting it together. Chance was disappointed but he was such a good boy, he understood what happened and once it was established that we would get him another one the next day he was very good about the whole thing. The next day we went to a different Target and they had even more bikes to choose from so Chance had to make some decisions. He picked this bike and needless to say he loves it. Scott put it together while Chance and I were at a playdate that morning and as soon as Chance saw it he took it outside to ride ride ride.


We don't think it will fit in our car so we took him to the park to ride as many times as we could while Scott still had his big rental car (he was working at a local station). He can ride around in small circles in the backyard but to really get going we have to take him to a bigger space.


I just took this picture to show how much he has grown. This is his little quad-cycle a ride-on he used to have in the house and push himself all around on. It was harder for me than it was for him to get rid of it but we figured since this is his second two wheel bike he probably won't be going back to a ride-on besides he doesn't fit on it at all anymore.
