Well we certainly tore it up today. The dude only learned two weeks ago. Sure we had years of training wheels but it never clicked until old friends from New Mexico visited and took it upon themselves to coast him and teach him, and they did it. I couldnt pull it off because he yelled at me too much and then I wanted to smack him so the learning environment was more conducsive to "guest teacher" . The bike and the teacher

I'm sure the boy is so happy that he can tear it up without training wheels. And I'm sure you're happy about it too!
that's a pretty cool bike. i probably would've yelled at people teaching me, too.
do you put cococut oil in The Pup's hair, cuz he has beautiful hair...he must get that from you!
My second kid had a hellofa time learning, until I bought a scooter(skate board looking thing with steering handles). Helped him with the balance issue in no time!
Had no idea when I got preggers four years ago that one of the items in my new "Mama" job description would be to annoy my child. But, yup, I am annoying. Parents often make sucky teachers, I am sad to say, not because we can't do a good job, but because we are familiar and therefore, well, inexpert, right? Funny how we end up teaching more by example anyway. Now where is the parenting book that levels with us about all this icky stuff? That and the impatience urge. Loved this post, BTW.
My little guy just turned 8 and finally let me take the training wheels off! I haven't let him on the pavement yet... I am afraid!
Way cool.
