After three weekends of practice, my 6-year-old rode his bike all the way down the driveway without training wheels. No hands from me, just pure balance and determination. He looked back and saw me and was so proud. Then he crashed into the bushes but didn't care because he did it. I've never been so happy in my life.
Dude, nothing beats that moment when they finally get it and you see the confidence kick in. Congrats to your son, that's a huge milestone.
That's so cool. Just waiting for my little one to get there. The fact that he did it without you holding on must have felt amazing for both of you.
That's the feeling right there. Those three weekends of patience are gonna stick with him way longer than the actual riding will. You crushed it.
That's a massive milestone. Congrats to both of you. The patience it takes to do that three weekends in a row with a kid is real. My 10-year-old is just getting comfortable enough to let go of the handlebars. You earned a dad victory here.
Dude that's awesome!! Three weekends is solid work. My 6-year-old is getting there and those moments when they finally get it are just incredible. Did he want to keep riding or was he gassed after?

Yes! This is the kind of win that makes all the soccer schedule chaos worth it. I remember my oldest doing this and I just stood there like an idiot with the biggest smile. How far did he go?
