Kind of fitting given the emphasis on cycling this month with the Round the Bay , Tour Down Under , Melbourne Cycling Festival and National Ride to Work Day that Kingsley has met another milestone.
Until last weekend and through no fault of her own and despite the fact that Ahubby is a talented cyclist, Kingsley still had training wheels on. She has not been on her bike for nearly 2 years ( due to broken arms last year and our situation this year) and decided that she was going to lose the kiddie wheels before her birthday next week.
Two short attempts later and in her own words Kingsley has "now mastered it"!

Should clarify that the broken arms ( yes plural) were NOT from cycling! Should also admit that I promised Kingsley an ipod nano if she got off her wheels this week. Should never underestimate the determination of a child! Thank goodness we counted the piggy bank money.
Well done Kingsley. And a Nano too!
Forget the nano. Why don't you buy her a decent bike - carbon fibre maybe (do they make a P3C in a junior version?)
Sounds like bribery and corruption are alive and well at Team SAK headquarters. Sounds like it worked.
Bribery is a staple in the parent arsenal isn't it? We'd never accomplish anything without it! Go Kingsley! A true accomplishment.
Well done Kingsley!!
Way to go, Kingsley.
I don't like to call it bribery -think of it more as incentivisation. If it's good enough for the workplace, why shouldn't we use the technique on the kids?
Kingsley - You set yourself a goal and you achieved it. Well Done. Sensational stuff. I am one very proud Auntie.
