Wow!

That's a great photo, capturing a moment that many of us remember
well.  Learning to ride one's first "two-wheeler" is a milestone to be
cherished and remembered forever - I know I remember mine.

My dad (bless his heart) brought along his Yashica A 6x6 (except then
they were called 2 1/4 by 2 1/4) tlr to record the event.  I was three
years old.  My mom still has the pix.  One day, I should see if I can
find them.

Who'd have thunk that I'd be making my living from riding a bike, this
many years later.

BTW, Powell, glad to see your son (I assume that's your son) is
wearing a helmet.  Whether it's the law or not, it's important to get
them used to wearing them right off the bat.  I wear mine all the time
- I've got so few brain cells left, I have to protect those that are
still around.  <g>

A fun yet poignant photo.

cheers,
frank
