Two Serious Biker Boys

Okay, so we're either brave or stupid ~ we skipped right over the tricycles and went straight to the mini bikes! So far so good. These boys are pretty big for their age (not quite 2 1/2 yet) and tall enough to reach the pedals; we figured they'd outgrow their tricycles within a year so why bother. They were so excited to see these cool bikes (hey, who wouldn't want a Huffy?! I had one.) - it was hysterical to see their little faces when we showed them their new mini bikes. We thought about getting two different bikes, but opted for two exactly the same for a good reason. They would have found a reason to fight over one bike if we picked out two different ones, I feel sure of it, and we did NOT want to go there. We have been working on pedaling fowards and not backwards, which is the brake - it'll take a little practice but they really are enjoying them.
