After a few wobbly attempts my daughter has started riding her bike without stabilisers!
Proud Dad moment when she was cycling ahead of me.
I think her new helmet with ears helped her balance improve!

Of course I'm doing the typical Dad thing and am looking at what bike to buy her next!

Agreed, lovely post.

I remember all three of my daughters' first wobbly stabiliser free metres as some of the proudest moments of being a parent.

Within an hour of my daughter riding for the first time without stabilisers I had bought her a new bike.

Just downloaded an app called Bike Hub which is a sort of cycle friendly satnav and route finder. Anyway it has a neat section of cycling quotes, one of which I thought very apt.

"the hardest part of raising a child is teaching them to ride bikes. A shaky child on a bike for the first time needs both support and freedom. The realisation that this is what the child will always need can hit hard"
