My son is not interested in learning to ride a bike - something about it being hard. My youngest daughter does not want to ride her bike because the last time she rode she got hurt. My oldest daughter just wants to ride her bike without having to stop at every corner and wait for the rest of us to catch up.
What's a mom to do?
Why have everyone spend our walking time riding bikes instead!
There is a church at the end of our street that has a large parking lot and a large grassy lot. The girls rode the bikes in the parking lot. Z and I took turns with his bike. I used my time to "relearn" how to ride, but more importantly build up my leg muscles. I am hoping if I get use to bike riding again I can take K out on the weekends for a mom/daughter ride. Z spent his time complaining, but also trying to learn how to balance. He did his time on the grass.
My hope is that if we do this every day that...maybe....maybe....by winter everyone will be riding bikes - and liking it!
Exercise wise - riding the bike (even in turns) left me breathless and sore...so I guess that is a good thing!
Happy Walking!
