And their off...

We finally live in an area that is condusive to learning how to ride a bike. Big Sis was too young when we lived in Irvine and it was too dangerous when we lived in Chino Hills (we lived on a very steep hill). Now our street is pretty flat and we have taken the girls outside to practice their riding skills.

Big Sis started riding what is called a Puky bike when she was about 2 years old. My brothers brought it home from Switzerland for her. The idea behind the bike is that the children learn to balance thereby eliminating the need for training wheels. Let me tell you it works. Big Sis is riding her bike after only two times out with her dad.

Now Lil Sis is practicing her balance on the Puky bike. She is already getting the hang of it. In fact she was trying to pull out some fancy tricks, both legs up in the air!
Aren't helmets so dang funny?

DH stuck out in the photos more than the girls--running behind big Sis to catch her if she falls. I can relate to that!
