Matthew's New Years Bicycle Ride

Up until December of this year Matthew has not pedaled his bicycle when we took him out to ride. He got his new bicycle with training wheels over a year ago for his 3rd birthday. Earlier whenever Tony and I took him out we would have to lean over and push him. Our backs would hurt so much afterwards that we did not try to encourage him to do it again. A couple of weeks ago Tony rigged a wooden pole to push him while he pedals. Just as I thought, Matthew only needed two outings with us pushing him to master the pedaling.

We had a good holiday weekend riding around the lake with Grandpa and then Tony. I had to take Jacob along in the wagon because he refused to be left behind.
