Biking

Geremu LOVES to bike. He doesn't care if he falls off his bike (which happens often because he doesn't watch where he is going) and he rides fast. Here he is prepping to bike today.

We make Geremu wear a helmet, he chooses to wear the goggles for style, not safety.

Cullen dislikes biking, he really doesn't want anything to do with it, he would rather run along side the bikes. It might have something to do with the fact that every time he tried biking last summer Geremu would hop on another bike and try to play chicken with Cullen. Cullen would end up bailing because he was afraid. Cullen does not have the fearless personality Geremu does. It takes a lot to talk him into getting on a bike, I usually have to promise that Geremu will not come- LOL. Today I was able to talk Cullen into getting on the tag-along bike, you might notice from his foot position that he was ready to bail because Geremu came along with us.

By the end of our bike ride Cullen told me he was having fun and he was helping peddle so that was progress. I had to promise him we would not tip over. Which between you and me it was a promise I should not have been making, I was riding Nick's bike and the seat was to high for me to sit on.

Geremu had 3 falls because he was so busy biking ahead of us then turning around to look at us that he would tip. He had a bloody knee by the time we made it home and I'm pretty sure that Cullen will never get on a bike by himself after watching Geremu fall so many times.
