A few weekends ago, we got a new bicycle for Elizabeth. We took her to a "real" bike shop and had her fitted on the bike - and what a difference it has made. She rides a lot better and has a lot more confidence, although she still doesn't quite have braking down pat (especially when she needs to brake). While we were most concerned about getting her a bicycle that was best for her size and ability, Elizabeth was most concerned about color (purple) and the basket (to hold her camera). She definitely likes riding this bike a lot more than the other one and, with enough practice, we think that she will soon be a pro.
Of course, Elizabeth's old bicycle has been re-sized for Emily - and while she likes to ride, she's more into us pushing her on it than actually pedaling....
