Bikes, Bikes, and More Bikes

Sarah graduated from the **coaster bike this spring and learned to ride a little pedal bike we found at the used toy/clothes store.  Luke inherited the coaster bike.

So that we could continue to go on long rides we purchased a tag-along for Sarah to ride.  Luke remained in the trailer.  It was getting too tight for the both of them.  

This has been the summer of growing and Sarah's little pedal bike got too small, so she graduated to another thrift store find that she'll be able to ride for a couple of years.  

Luke, at the ripe old age of 2, has now graduated from the coaster bike and he too is on a thrifted pedal bike.  He's a little wobbly at times and has a hard time getting himself going, but he's ridden miles at a time, while I jog next to the kids. 

We counted and we have 10 bikes, 1 tag-along, and a bike trailer.  Poor, poor Richard; that's a lot of tubes to patch!!  

**the kids refer to the coaster bike as the "Trick Bike". Because their feet are not on pedals and can quickly access the ground, they do all kinds of crazy things on it.  
 
P.S.--all of this makes their bike loving mother VERY VERY happy!!
