One of my daughters, Ashlynn, finally decided to take to two wheels. She turned 5 in April, but didn't want to try the two wheel thing. I tried with her, but she said no.

Finally, yesterday, she hopped on a friends bike, and took off, all by herself. She yelled "I did it!" Then demanded I take the training wheels off of her bike. Of course I grabbed the camera and snapped away as she took off!:clap

Now her twin sister is a little miffed...she usually does stuff first..LOL!:rofl

    Great "in-the-moment" shot!
    A proud moment! You were Johnny on the spot getting that picture of her newfound freedom as it happened. Not many would be ready for that with their camera nearby.

    When customers ask me "How do I teach my kid to get up on two wheels?" I only have one response... "that will take care of itself - peer pressure." (I'm in the cycling business)

    I love both of the photos. I was lucky to capture the moment myself years ago. I think the second one captures it so well. The unsure angle of the tire and the look on her face is priceless!clap.gif

    Love the photos, for all the reasons already stated.

    Now you have a battle on your hands! You need to think about convincing your ladies to start wearing a bicycle helmet. Take it from one who knows, these are worth 10x their weight in gold, the first time someone takes a nosedive to the pavement.
