Grayson has been doing really well balancing on his bike without pedals and he's becoming more of a daredevil, so we decided it was time to put the pedals back on and see if he could ride like a big boy without training wheels.
We took him to the school parking lot down the street and Michael was able to let go of Gray's bike seat in a matter of minutes. The only problem was Gray's attention span. He wanted to ride off curbs and up hills like he was used to doing without his pedals. He kept forgetting to pedal and instead would turn his head and start talking about riding on a nearby hill.
Once we were able to get him to focus on continuous pedaling, he was able to go all the way across the parking lot on his own. It was amazing to watch him pick it up so fast. I am now a firm believer in stryder bikes!
We have a lot more practicing to do before Grayson will be totally comfortable riding with pedals, but he did extremely well for his first time and didn't fall once. Here are a couple of videos (pardon the crazy wind noise):
