The Strider

It clicked.  
Dax received a Strider bike for Christmas from Aunt Kat and Uncle Bryan but didn't want much to do with it until these past few months.  A genius invention for kids the Strider bike is basically a bike without pedals.  That simple.  It teaches the kid how to balance and control before taking the next step to peddling.  

And over the past few weeks...it clicked.  Dax learned to pick up his feet, use them as brakes, fall down like a big boy and then brush it off to ride again.  He loves it and we love watching!




 Once he seemed to have the technique down (or maybe a little before) we took him to the local Pump Park to test it out.  Dirt mounds in various shapes and patterns make for a fun adventure on your bike, especially a Strider.

Daddy tries to keep up at the park.



No doubt little brother, Otto, will be on his own Strider in the near future.

He is such a little ripper. No fear and smiles the whole time.
