Sit, Push and Glide - Run Bike

Monday Martha's Run bike came while she was napping. Dan took it out and put it all together for her! When she woke up we took her out for a short ride before dinner. She was so funny at first trying to figure out how to balance it on the two wheels :) It took some adapting and the hand grips gave her a sore thumb but she loved it and was quit upset when we made her come in for dinner.

After dinner it was getting dark so Dan set her with a head light and off we went. She go better and better. We went to a small "hill" down the street and she went down the sidewalk there quite a few times. She even got it figured out balancing with her feet off the ground for a bit. We didn't want to stand in one place so I convinced her to go find more hills in the neighborhood. She was doing great going down a longer hill and picking up speed...welp guess it was a bit too much because she had a little run in with the concrete. After a few tears and a little hugging/ carrying she wanted to ride all the way home and wasn't too happy when we said we had to go in.

Tuesday we went for a post lunch ride around and she got the sitting, push and glide down. Twice I was ahead of her and she came "flying by" me and I said there she goes. After about 10 min she was stopping to have me come up so she could fly by me! We went home for some water and got a rest in...and of course had to go out with daddy in the dark before bed.

Now she got really good went probably 40 feet down the hill from the night before all with no feet. The last time she was swerving from side to side...looking like she was really pushing her abilities. It was so funny to see her come to a "screeching" more like pounding halt at the bottom before going into the street. It has no breaks so her feet have to stop her.

With that amazing balancing I told her I bed she could start trying to put her feet up...she couldn't get them in the right place and they hit her tire and she stopped quite a few times. Then as she got a little tired but didn't want to quite she tried putting her feet up w/out being moving and had another little crash and scrapped knee. Dan carried her I carried her bike (the thing weight like 10# so it's no be deal)...we told her she was missing her hill and after a min she was down off again.

So today we will have to get out again! Man I wonder what she will do today! I have some video and will do some more and try to get it uploaded! I also have hundreds of pics to upload from the last ah ya know month...so be looking for that on our site soon!
