After 6 months of frequent "bike riding" Tyler has finally started proficiently pedaling his trike. He really had no motivation to learn because he moved around much more quickly by riding his bike Flinstones style than by slowly pedaling during the learning phase of bike riding. Six months ago he immediately wore out a pair of tennis shoes from dragging his feet on the ground. We switched him into sandals which have lasted through the entire summer, but they are definately thrashed. Now he is onto a new pair of tennis shoes and does not want to ruin his new "Nike Swoosh" shoes that he is in love with, so he has finally become motivated to pedal his bike. It took a little bit of practice. At first he could only master the technique on flat surfaces, but now he is really riding! It is so fun to watch him, and he is very proud of himself.
