Spencer's Skuut at Crystal Springs

Spencer has really improved on his Skuut bicycle recently, so we decided to take advantage of the spring weather and go for a ride together on the Sawyer Camp Trail around Crystal Springs.



Spencer did great-- he rode for a full mile, picked up some (alarming) speed on some of the gentle downhill slopes, and actually picked up his legs for a couple of nice glides. The major challenges were staying on the right hand side of the bike path (much to the chagrin of oncoming pedestrian traffic) and skipping the frequent opportunities to take milk breaks on the benches alongside the path.

Of course, in the confines of our driveway, we weren't so lucky. Spencer slipped off the bike and bit his lip, giving him a mouthful of blood and a very fat lip for the next couple of days. He's a pretty tough customer-- his lip is mostly better and he loves telling the story.

Here's a short video of Spencer in action:
