On Two Wheels

We've reached a major milestone in our household. Kellan learned to ride his bike! The training wheels came off last month and he wasn't too thrilled about it, but over the weekend, Erik took him to the park and everything clicked. He's riding like a big boy!

We've talked about bicycle safety with him, but now that he's off his training wheels, we are going to take it more seriously. He won't ride in traffic any time soon, but we do want him to know how to ride on bike paths, use crosswalks and know other safety rules so when he's ready to go on the road with his dad, he will be prepared. Here's a bicycle equipment checklist to help you and your kids have a safe ride.
