Can you ride a bike??

I have been waiting for this day for many years. 
Today we took the children and there bikes to Blackpool and they cycled along the prom
(we speed walked behind)


It doesn't sound very exciting, but for years just the mention of riding a bike had my son in tears.
He just couldn't do it. 


But over the last few weeks he has had another go and last week he cracked it!!!!! 


So this weekend we headed for Blackpool and he cycled along the prom, hallelujah! 


We didn't get all the way to the tower as the prom started to get busy.


We listened to the High Tide Organ


And when we finally got back to the car, the children still had enough energy to race to the top of the sand dunes (and bring loads of sand back with them)

Well done to my bike riding champion, we knew you could do it.

    1. I found it very frustrating, the teaching part, when you can ride a bike it seems so simple and difficult to understand why he couldn't!! Sarah

    1. He's already said he wants to go on another bike ride!! I'd love to go along the canal tow path, but maybe not quite yet. One wobble and he could be in the water. Sarah
