The BBB

When Raif approached me a month or two ago with the idea of getting Greyson a Big Boy Bike (BBB) for his birthday I thought he was crazy. It wasn't too long ago that he finally managed to learn how to ride his trike. He was on our neighbors bike a couple of months ago and screamed when it leaned a little to the left and onto the training wheels. He's going to hate it and it will sit in our garage and collect dust, I thought.

Man I was wrong. Saturday Greyson got that bike and it was love at first sight. He jumped on it first thing and started riding it around the house. No fear at all. Since we live in a sub-division that has absolutely no level ground whatsoever we packed up all the family bikes and headed to our local park on Sunday. He took off and never looked back. He fell a couple of times when he took some turns to fast but he got right back on again and kept going. Tour De France here we come.

Everyone got in on the act - even Grandma and Grandpa.

And for those of you familiar with cycling - yes my son is riding a Trek. For those of you not familiar with cycling - Trek is the bike that Lance Armstrong and a lot of the professional cyclists ride. Well, with Raif as his Dad - does that surprise anyone?
