Campbell has done a few sporting things in her short life. She has done ballet, gymnastics, and ice skating. She has incredible balance on all of these. She is even doing some simple jumps in ice skating now. The one thing that we as parents have failed her on is teaching her to ride a bike. She is 9 1/2 years old and still does not know how to ride a bike.
Last week we went out and purchased a properly sized bicycle. She has her helmet that she got at the bicycle safety event in South Carolina. We also made sure to get her some elbow and knee pads. Friday evening we took her out and got her started on her riding lessons. We didn't even put training wheels on. We told her all or nothing.
She did pretty well. She does have some balance problems. I still don't understand how she can skate on one foot ON ICE but can't balance on a bicycle. Oh well, I'm sure she will eventually figure it out. We will be spending a lot of time outside over the next few weeks trying to learn this new activity.

Good luck! She'll get it, and once she does, she won't want to get off it until it's time to start learning to drive!
