Biking Success for the whole family

So I blogged earlier about my experience with teaching my middle daughter to ride a bike.

I just have to update this blog with this picture:

Now all three of my children can ride bikes. Thanks Facebook and Youtube! You made for some very happy children!

This time I DID Google it!

In an earlier post I wrote about not using Google to solve a problem. This post takes the other side of the coin.

So earlier this week I saw this video on Facebook:

I got really excited. I have two girls who have not yet learned to ride a bike. My middle girl struggles with a fixed mindset and it's tough for her to learn something new and hard. So this really got me excited.

We happen to have a bunch of bikes lying around. (My wife is amazing at finding bikes people are getting rid of but still work!)

So I promptly sat down and starting taking one of them apart in order to get rid of the pedals and crank. I happen to think that I'm reasonably handy, but within 15 minutes I was sitting on our sidewalk, surrounded by bike parts stuck. I just couldn't figure out how to get the crank out.

So I reached into my pocket, pulled out my iPhone, and I found this guy:

At 6:14 is the spot I was stuck. 

And now I have this!
