My baby brother and my daughter wants a new bike for each of them. The old bike is pink and lilac in color and made for a two year old. They are now four and three respectively. They both want a more serious bike. lol, kids their age think they are grown ups already. hehehe... One time, we looked for the best bike for each of them. We have even brought them to a cycle store for them to choose their own bikes. What color they each prefer, what size and what design...whew... and believe me, I could almost imagine how they will be choosing their wheels when they're older... One time at SM, River said aloud that the bike Lili chose is not nice enough, hahaha... kids really are smarter now a days. If it was me, I would have simply chosen one and accept my parent's verdict without hesitation. But Lili opposed River as if it means a matter of life and death, lol... And she told him, "I will be riding that bike, not you! Choose your own bike for you to ride Kuya River, so we can ride bikes alongside each other." OMG!!! I did not know what to say. The mother fell silent... zipped my mouth that instant...
Anyway, since we are still unable to make the final decision, we have postponed the bike buying spree for another weekend. I then asked each of them what they think about biking. If they are really ready for another kind of bike. Or if they can handle the new bikes once bought. As usual, they have outsmarted me when they both said that they will ride the bike and find out afterwards. Whew....
So here I am in horrific imaginings. The bike my daughter wants is taller than her. I guess I need to learn a few things about biking, if I am to supervise biking activities for two eager bikers. And of course, what better way to learn these things but online. Mr. Google gave me a few links and of course I surveyed each. Then, I came upon a site that has everything I needed to learn. If you are interested, click here.
Biking is fun and enjoyable, but for kids, I think it is more about the accomplishment of being able to ride. As for me, my only memory of biking is when Uncle Eric taught me how to ride his bike at the quadrangle, back in the good old days of the Barracks, in Butuan City. I was afraid and excited at the same time. I did not fall though... Oh well, I was safe with Uncle Eric there. That is the same feeling I would like the kids to have when we have our biking sessions-- the feeling of being safe with Mommy around.
