The last few weekends have had a similar theme – bike riding. I have made no secret about the fact my husband is a huge fan of bike riding and as soon as the girls were walking he pretty much had them on a balance bike.
Meme loves her bike and her and my husband often go off together on crazy bike rides. They both thoroughly enjoy it. Last Christmas Harri got a bike of her own and since then we have been trying to encourage her to ride without her stabilisers.
Harri is just as able as her big sister yet she just isn’t as determined (she is very much like me) she has been riding without them for a while but has always insisted that my husband keep hold of her. That was until a few weeks ago, it is like something just clicked. All of a sudden she had the confidence to go it alone, she was away! And she hasn’t stopped riding since, she wants to go bike riding every weekend, so that is what we have been doing.
Gorgeous shots. Is your hubby part Dutch?! Bike riding is certainly a big thing here. In fact little man had to take his bike to school today. They even have bike lessons at primary school. Thank you for linking up to #PointShoot 📸
Aww, bless her. So glad she found her confidence. I really need to get my youngest out on her balance bike x

Well done Harri. I think my daughter is older than you and she’s just recently learned to ride her bike without stabilizers 🙂 It’s good to have them out biking, isn’t it, especially when the weather is good 🙂 #countrykids
Oh wow lovely to see they love bike riding so much and so glad everything came together and just clicked! Just popping over from #countrykids

Great to hear about the click! We just took off the stabilisers the other day for our eldest, but we def need to run around and keep hold of him 😉 #countrykids
My third child went through a similar process with bike riding – he could fly on his balance bike and he could cycle on his toy tractor, but he only put the two together earlier this year. He hasn’t stopped cycling since! Enjoy the bike rides!

Gosh I can’t get the stabilisers off mine. Must persevere!! #familytraveltips
Sounds like you have had great fun keeping fit as a family. My girls have yet to learn to ride although my eldest does have a bike kept at her grandparents home. #CountryKids
This post has given me a kick up the bum to get my lot out on their bikes more often! #countrykids
It’s so lovely to see them enjoying their bikes, such a fun activity to do
It’s always great when you can go on a family bike ride with everyone on their own bike, I bet the girls will love riding off together. It’s funny how some kids will refuse to cycle on their own for a while and all of a sudden get their confidence. I bet Meme and Harri loved cycling along the seafront together.
Thanks for sharing with me on #CountryKids.
We really need to embrace this! Our eldest (5) has no interest in riding at all- despite us encouraging her. One day, one day! #familytraveltips
Oh that’s lovely! We have been just the same this past few weeks, Lia has recently learnt to ride her bike and she’s loving it. I do still have to run alongside her though because she goes like a train but can’t stop in much of a hurry and I worry about her taking someone out! Well done Harri for having the confidence to go for it! Thanks for linking up to #familytraveltips
