This was as much a present for me as it was for Sammy. Dave hooked it up to his bike first to test it out, and after a shake-down ride to the marsh we hooked it up to my mountain bike. It was pretty weird at first – the center of gravity is way different than having him ride on the handlebars like he usually does, but we had a good time. We got used to it and he enjoyed helping me pedal up hill. It’s a nice way for him to get some pedaling in as well until he can keep up on his own. He’s enjoying riding his own little mountain bike quite a bit as well. Last week he rode through some ironwood trees and down a pretty good little hill all by himself (with training wheels but without mommy helping stabilize). It was real off-roading and he was so excited to do it all by himself that I had to circle ’round with him five more times to “do it AGAIN, mommy!”
