Cyrus: No training wheels!

Cyrus began riding a balance bike a couple of years ago, which is essentially a bike with no pedals that is propelled by pushing feet on the ground. We then moved on to a traditional bicycle with pedals and training wheels and have been stuck there for a while, more because we've not pushed Cyrus than his abilities. This weekend, we finally asked Cyrus if he wanted to try to take the training wheels off of his bike. With little hesitation, he declared that he was going to ride his bike without training wheels and dragged me down to the track to do so. Here is a video of our first lap around the track:



It probably took Cyrus all of about 100 yards to be off and on his own. No crashes, no wobbles. On his second ride, he decided to try and jump his bike off of a dirt pile! It's nice to see him so excited and proud of himself for accomplishing something...
