In which Evan picks it up and starts over

I have the only child who falls off a bike when he's walking it. I suppose he tripped over it, but still....

We rode bikes to school today for the first time. His training wheels are too high, and he's wobbly. Turning corners is often a disaster. And this morning I failed to put pads and helmet on him on the way out. Of course, the tight turn in the park spelled disaster. He did OK - only a scrape on the back of his calf. And he got back on the bike. As he was rolling down the sidewalk, he told me how much he loved riding bikes to school together.

We had just arrived at school and dismounted (school rule: no riding on school grounds), when he tripped over his bike and went down again. It's not going to curb his enthusiasm. We can learn something from five-year-olds.
