1st ride

we got a a bike for xmas.
K2 - 12Z. new
wanted to get one used, but it was a last minute decision.
from xmas to dec 29th, he rode it inside as we got about 6-8 inches of snow.
on dec 30th, we took him out on his inaugural ride to the coffee shop.
half way through the snow and ice packed alley, crash number one happened.
i was doing a half-assed job of pushing and supporting him when the front wheel slid out and down he went.
the only casualty was the right antenna on the ladybug bell i bought him.
i picked aiden up and we all high-fived to show him he did a good job of falling down.
after brushing off the snow and walking the next 3 meters to the sidewalk,
aiden hopped back on the bike and pedaled 5 blocks to the coffee shop for some apple juice.
on the return trip, he made it 4 blocks and decided he wanted to walk.
not bad for his first time out.
