James, my oldest two were already bike riders. My youngest, 5 years
old, was not riding a bike.Out of my selfishness, I decided to not teach her to bike ride until
she learned to unicycle ride. I feel sort of mean about that, but she
practices her unicycles several times per/week.I wanted her to be able to say, "I could ride a unicycle before I
learned to ride a bike!" Am I a bad Father for that? --chirokid-- *
Would appear your not the only "bad father" ...
Our weekly (juggling) meeting a couple nites ago had two young riders
who'd never been there before. An 11yo brother and 8yo sister. Though
I don't think she could freemount, the 8yo was zipping all over the
place on a uni - and she cannot yet ride a bike. Here mom explained
that she has trouble controlling the steering of the front wheel.
