We put my three and a half year old son on a bike for the first time today. He took to it like a duck to water and pedaled down the trail about half a mile and back (with many stops). The initial going was slow as it took a bit to understand how the brakes were applied by pedaling backwards but he got it very quickly. I'm a proud papa.
There were lots of people out walking and biking today. We saw lots of pet owners with their dogs and couples walking together. It struck me once again what a fantastic resource the trail is for our community. It's a place to exercise, to socialize, to commune with nature, and, in our case this morning, to watch your kids grow up a bit, right before your eyes.
