Finally the weather is nice. Spring is here. We decide to go to the library by walking, about 4K round trip. Jakub wants to take his bike. If he succeeds, this will be by far the furthest distance he will have crossed by bike.

We start off with Robert on the bike, because he insisted. His feet scarcely touch the pedals and he doesn't quite get the steering, but he has a good time being pull by his balloon string.

Then comes Jakub. He still remembers how to ride, but not at 100% efficiency. He especially doesn't remember how to stop and there was one scare when he kept on rolling almost into the street. Luckily he bailed into someone's lawn.

Jakub proved that he had the stamina, if not pride enough to keep a short spell of whining inside.

For the first time Jakub was eager to try riding his bike.  He saw me ride mine home from the store and became inspired I suppose.  We put on his helmet and attached the rope and I pulled him one block to the South.  Jakub made sure to tell me how far Esteban and Adrian's house was.  Then we turned around and went to the green space just North of our house to play.  He realized that we had forgotten toys, so we had to ride back to the house to get them.  Unfortunately, just as we pulled in to the driveway Jakub had a crash as he turned too quickly and scraped his elbow.  That was the end of riding his bike for today.

Still no pedal action but it was fun because he was excited by going today!
