Twins Triumphant on Two Wheels

March was a big month for the twins. They reached a major milestone when they learned to ride their two-wheel bikes without training wheels. In fact, they never used training wheels at all. It only took them about 30 minutes to get the hang of riding two-wheelers, having already learned how to balance on their Mini Glider balance bikes. Caleb and Joshua learned to ride on the very same church parking lot where I used to practice riding my bike (and later, driving a car) in the days of yore. The boys caught on a lot more quickly than I did, though, and within a couple days of first learning to ride, they were already navigating the neighborhood sidewalks along the dozen or so blocks to Mimi and Papa's house. Moses felt left out whenever the twins departed on their bike rides, so I bought a second-hand Burley bike trailer on Craigslist, and now we can all ride together as a family. After his first ride in the trailer, Moses proudly told Mimi, "I ride in a cage!"
