I want to ride my bicycle...

For some time now, Reilly has been asking us to take the training wheels off her bike but Shawn and I were hesitant. We didn't think she had enough strength to master the weight of the bike. Besides, we told her, you really need a new helmet.

"Okay, well, let's go get one."

So we got one, and I loosened one of the wheels on one side of the bike and she rode that wobbly thing around the lake like a bat out of hell.

The next day I got out the wrench and pried off both wheels, grabbed the video camera and an audience of two, and we set up in the alley. The result is here.
