'I am going to ride without stabilisers.'
The youngest informed me this morning that today she was going to ride without stabilisers, it has been a few months since I last ran up and down the road behind her with her wobbling, panicking and giving up fairly quickly.
So this morning she sat on her bike, pedalled away and that was that. I packed a picnic and we had a ride to a park two miles away and a lovely picnic.
The surprising thing though is when the next youngest went without stabilisers a few years ago he did exactly the same thing, just said in the morning that that was it, he was 'riding without stabilisers today' and he did.
