Zella can ride a bike

We went to the playground in the park around the corner of our house and bumped into a former class mate of Miles. He had his new bike with him and was practicing riding it. Miles, who is a head taller than he, asked if he could ride the bike. So Miles rode around on it for a while. Then Zella asked if she could also ride the bike.  I said that it lacked training wheels, but she wanted to do it anyway. I put her on the bike gave a her push and off she went. I was surprised since she could only just reach the pedals and had never riden without training wheels yet. She has been riding a “like a bike” which lacks pedals and which has given her a good sense of balance.

I guess never underestimate what a little sibling rivalry can do
