Fun on Wheels

Learning to ride a bike is a childhood milestone. I vividly remember Cade on his first 2-wheeler Batman bike not only riding in circles around our driveway but also daringly trying silly positions and tricks. Abby was a bit less daring on her bike but still loved to ride up and down the street all day long. Ian enjoyed working on his bike with an array of real or plastic tools eventually figuring out how to take his own training wheels off. And Leah tried to keep up with the big kids on her little push vehicle longing for the day when she could ride a "big kid bike". Unfortunately, last year in Macau, there weren't a lot a places suitable to ride a bike so the kids really missed a fun childhood pastime. 

Moving to Lantau Island with lots of trails and open spaces, we hoped for more bike riding opportunities. We discovered there's a few towns here that only allow bikes for private transportation, such as Mui Wo. 

When we visit our friends in Mui Wo, Cade and Abby fight over who gets to ride their cool, yellow bike

 while Ian and Leah love sitting in the backseat.

Finally, we got some wheels of our own.

We bought 2 bikes,

a skateboard,

  and a scooter.

The kids enjoy riding along the bike trails, coastal paths, and around the parks.

They also like to skateboard at the soccer pitch

and Cade's getting pretty good on the ramps at the skate park.

They're having fun on wheels!
