Very nice. Reminds me of how difficult it was to teach my kids to ride.
I spent a lot of time running alongside with one hand on the back of
the seat. Of course it was all worth it when I watched them take off on
their own.

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
