Upright Bike

Our PT Theresa let us borrow her daughter's bike with training wheels. We've tried it a few times at therapy--it was a little challenging at first.

But--after raising the seat, and adding a few velcro straps to the pedals--VOILA!





SHE LOVED IT!! The bike frame is a little too small for her. No matter--E was very proud of herself, biking solo through the puddles (we've had tons of rain lately) and up "hills' and over "cracks", and over a bridge (this trail is pretty flat overall). She still gets frustrated if she gets stuck; she sometimes forgets the mantra of "up and around" with the pedaling motion, and once she almost tipped over, despite the stability the training wheels provide. We tend to guard her closely, to give her a teeny push if needed--to ensure a successful ride. We'll definitely be doing this again!
