a boy and his bike

"The hardest part of raising a child is teaching them to ride bicycles. A shaky child on a bicycle for the first time needs both support and freedom. The realization that this is what the child will always need can hit hard."

~Sloan Wilson

this kid loves his bike like nothing else. we had to take it to a bike shop to get fixed because the chain was falling off - and he has now decided that he wants to "fix bikes when he grows up."
