I was so excited that the Easter Bunny brought Van a big girl bike. I was even more excited when the weather became warm enough to use said bike. Too bad Van HATES her bike. We have used it maybe 3 times. Every time ending in tears, with a little bit yelling, and lots of frustration.
(day one on big girl bike: the only day I took the camera, this is the end result!)
I am disappointed, because she loved her little bike with training wheels. The bike that I thought that she would love and adore is quickly collecting dust.
In all my blog browsing lately, I have found the growing trend to be the bikes with no pedals. I found a giveaway on this website, and thought what the heck. What is the worst thing that could happen, I don't win, and I would have wasted a few minutes writing up some silly lil' comment like this...Sell...Party Of 3 said...
Okay, this is a true story. I bought Van a "regular" big girl bike for Easter. She hates it. To the point that we have had fights about her riding it daily. Maybe this could be the solution to my problem. =) Van loved her "little" bike, but it broke. boo!

Awesome freakin' giveaway! Really.
Well, Nyko from Skuut noticed comment number 16 out of 207 and contacted me with some totally freakin' AWESOME news! She wanted to give Van her very own Skuut bike. =) I think that I was more excited than Van to see how these bikes with no pedals actually worked.
Since getting this bike Van has been on it every day, except the one day it rained! She is in LOVE!! I am pretty sure that every person that has been to our house has taken a trip to the garage. Van loves showing off her Skuut. Van's confidence has improved quickly, and I am hoping that the Skuut will be the jump start she needs to start using her big girl bike with NO training wheels. (*sigh* my baby is growin' up!) Thank you Nyko for Van's sAweet ride. It has already been used more than the "other" bike. =)
She has complete control.
She can put her feet down and touch the ground.
It is made of WOOD!
The attention she gets from all the other little kids that wonder what kind of cool lookin' toy is that!

Awesome! I love the bike! And I love that she loves to ride it! And I love the video!
That is a cool bike. I haven't ever seen one like that before!! That's awesome!!
What a great idea! I've never seen this before.. but I have heard of taking the pedals off. I've really got to try this. My 6 year old does NOT like to ride his bike without training wheels... he's 6!! Time to be riding on his own! (I actually don't know what the appropriate age to learn to ride a bike is, but I'm assuming before 6...)
I've known a lot of lucky people recently - you with the bike and then my friend just won a car on the Price is Right last week. No joke. If you watch it on June 3rd, her name is Tasha. ANYWAYS. I'm glad Van likes her pedal-less bike :)
Awww you got me with the video! A tear almost fell out when she said "just kidding" about being tired. I am glad that your experience with Van's bike the second time around was much smoother! Thank you so much again for the kind words, this experience makes all the work worth it!
Happy Skuut'ing!

This looks fabulous. Love the video by the way. Mr L. has THE hardest time with coordination and struggles big time with a real bike. Maybe this is the answer. I must go check them out.
Oh my goodness! I totally want one of these for Cassidy. I'm getting one! That looks fabulous!
