Sunday I was out at the park participating in the fall hawk migration
count. Between bald eagles, I saw a woman pushing her son on a bicycle.
I realized it the instant I saw it. She had removed the training wheels
and was teaching him to ride on two wheels!!! Now who of you don't
remember taking flight on two wheels???

He kept spilling and the ground provided a soft cushion so he kept at
it.

Through my binocs, I saw something that made me approach them. When his
mother was getting the bike steady, pushing from behind, I said "Look
ahead, not down!"

And like magic, that kid cycled for about 100 feet. All the hawkwatch
members applauded and I got a high five from his mom!

Short of getting your driver's license, to a 4 year old, that's freedom!

Another life list event for him AND me.
