The Lallow Bike

I think you can probably tell which of these 3 admirable bikes is the preferred, indeed the ONLY one that Cherub would ride.












Yes. Despite the almost totally trashed steering wheel and the fact that he was getting too long in the leg for it, The Buzz Lightyear Car was the transport of choice for backyard brrrrming.

Occasionally he would stand on the tail-board of the blue trike and scoot himself along. Pedalling, however, was something that Cherub just couldn't seem to master. Fixit opines that there is a basic design flaw in tricycles, because the pedals are a long way away from the body and attached to the steering apparatus. Which is probably true but plenty of other kidlets manage.







However, when Fixit put some trainer wheels on Climber's little old bike, pedalling was suddenly the Cherub's friend.


Now he is off, off and away. He rides all the time. He pedals as though he'd been doing it for years. He corners neatly and steers competently. And he loves, loves, loves his new lallow bike.
