Yeah, that would be my itty-bitty baby on a great big two-wheeler. He hasn’t quite gotten the hang of it, but we have discovered that if he goes left from the driveway instead of right, there is just enough of a slope so he can coast and practice balancing. He can get it once in a while, so one of these days it will just click and off he’ll go. If he get frustrated and the bike starts gathering dust, we may get him a pair of training wheels. “Wheel” see! ~snort~ (I’m glad I amuse myself).We got the bike at Dream Bikes up in Madison, which was pretty awesome. We got a really nice used Trek for not a lot of money, and at-risk kids are getting jobs learning how to rehab, maintain, and sell bikes. Miss Bean is lobbying pretty hard for a bike, too. She’ll need training wheels, I’m pretty sure. Being mama’s girl, she’ll probably need them until she’s a teenager. Okay, mine really weren’t on that long, it just felt that way.
ETA: Yes, that is Beeb in the middle distance and Bean is on the trike with a friend in the far distance. I don't think it biggifies enough to make that out though.

Tell Bug he looks awesome astride his new bike...and even a bit Star-War-ish with the cool bike helmet...can't imagine that would interest him, though. ;o) Speaking of itty-bitty baby, isn't that the wee one in the distance on the first picture? Can't tell for sure, but I think I recognize the tee shirt...courtesy of Miss Bean's talent.
Yup, definitely cute! (Though the young man in question would probably prefer the term "awesome")
Yeah, Bug!!! Can't wait for the boys to go biking together, now! :D
Dude! You look so COOL on that bike!
