There were a few tears and the odd 'I hate this stupid bike' but in the end after some pushing from her mother and lots of practicing on the track across the street Avery has it figured out and is nice and confident on her bike. Muddy is the opposite extreme, he worked and worked on his own and figured out how to get on and off the bike on his own and how it pedal it. He can now easily ride to the ice cream store and back without any difficulty.
