Operation NO TRAINING WHEELS - Take One

Out of the blue, Barrett decided that he wanted to take the training wheels off his bike.  Matt was excited to hear this news, so he began taking off the training wheels and anxiously began to prepare how to teach Barrett to ride. 
We invested in some elbow and knee pads, along with our Lighting McQueen helmet, and set out to test our abilities - Take One of No Training Wheels.
We made a little progress.  Mainly, it was realizing that we needed to balance, pedal at a faster rate to keep the momentum going, and that riding without training wheels was going to take a little "work" (it wasn't going to happen in a day).
No problem.  We're going to keep trying.  I think wants he gets a little more confident and has his first fall (I know, hard knocks...but it has to happen), he will eventually get the idea!!!!
