She's still learning to take off, and falls sometimes when she turns, but she's really riding. Here are a couple of photos. And yes, I know her seat is too low -- Vic did that to help Betsy to start from a seated position. We'll adjust it up soon.

And while I'm bragging about my daughter, I should let you know that her grandparents bought her inline skates for Christmas. Betsy loves them! She's not an expert yet, but she can zip up and down the driveway, with only about 0.75 falls per trip. Here is a photo of her in her skates, and wearing her too-small pads and gloves that we have since replaced:

When I look at these photos, I am stunned at how big and old she looks. Watching her ride for the first time was an emotional moment. I have to remind myself that she's only 6, but it doesn't stop me from getting anxious for her to be able go on road rides with me.

That rocks. Congratulations to your daughter. Riding a bike opens up more of the world to you as a kid.
Congrats! She'll be riding circles around you before you know it probably.
yes bikes!!
Very nice! It's great fun to take your kids on their first event ride. Jack did his first one last year. Ethan will make his debut in March at the Spoke n' Spurs. Even my youngest might get towed along on the trail-a-bike the 14 miles.
