Over the weekend Amanda, Lauren and their friend Hannah decided to up their bike riding skills and learn to ride with no hands. After a bit of practice Amanda became a pro. She could even go around the corners without touching the handle bars. Lauren learned to let go of the bars with one hand which was a huge accomplishment for her. You don't know how many family bike rides we've been on where we all had to stop because Lauren needed to scratch her nose. I admire the girls for bravely attempting this new feat. Riding a bike with no hands is not a skill I could ever force myself to acquire. Believe me, you couldn't pry both my hands off the bars if you tried.Wednesday, September 05, 2007
Look Ma, No Hands!

Congrats to the girls on this accomplishment! I mastered the no hands technique, but I give kudos to Amanda to be able to take corners handless! What a girl! David has now taken up mountain biking and wonders when I'm going to join him. I told him not to hold his breath-I'm more of a beach cruiser on the boardwalk kind of person and thats pushing it! He can bike those mountain trails-I'll stick to hiking them!
oh, they look like they are having so much fun! makes me want to be a kid again.
