Tyler finally rides with no training wheels

Tyler was a natural bike rider as he learned to ride the bike at 2 yrs old on his own. However, getting him off the training wheels has been a struggle as he is unwilling to even try.

We saw a guy teaching his son to ride his bike on the grassy slopes at our neighbourhood park and I went over to say hi and to show Tyler how it was done. The next day, Alan took him to try it and when i came to watch the next day, i was blown away when he just rode down the grassy slopes. Riding on the pavement was the next obstacle as he was afraid of falling.

So, to get over that fear, i told him i'd give him "Ironman knee pads". He was intrigued and again the next time i saw him in the park, this is what he was doing!
