You already now it, but in case you forgot, I'm a Big Guy. Big Guys get to do lots of special things, like watch Star Wars when I'm sick, drink juice after 4pm, wear undies, and stay up until 7:15pm (on special occasions). But with the nice weather, I was able to do something special - ride my bike in the parking lot (with close parental supervision)!
Check it out in the photos and video links included below (if you look closely, you can see the metro drive by me in the 2nd photo - so cool). Despite Spring officially starting, it was still a little bit chilly and late when we took the bike out for its first seasonal spin - so we could not stay out too long. Without much effort (since I'm a really Big Guy now), I was able to cruise through the parking lot, on the grass, down the brick paved sidewalk, and up the 2 stairs to our house. Dad was amused, because I delighted in letting my bike tip over, and then insisting on picking it up and mounting it myself. I am a Big Guy after all, I can pick up my own bike.
I was having so much fun that I didn't want to go inside. I only went in after Mom insisted we could go for a ride the next day. We didn't go for a ride the next day - it rained. But the day after, I met my buddy Noah on the path next to the Metro tracks and we zoomed for a long drive (until Noah had to run into the Hilton to go potty - he wears undies too - I held it in until we got home). Amelia calls me the 'Terror on Two Wheels.' I told Amelia that when she was bigger I would get her a seat for the back of the bike so she can go for a ride too.
I love riding my bike - hopefully I can ride it to metro to pick Dad up after work today.
Peace out,
Phin
