So this is Murph with his bike. Mine is exactly the same but much smaller. (Notice all the cars that I've mentioned before)

Last night we took the bikes for a ride in the park at dusk and we survived. I continue to be terrified but a little less so. I am now starting to trust my bike a little more. And I am starting to figure out how to work with my bike and the more I figure that out the better I'll be at this. So I'm keeping at it and encountering my fear head on every couple of days.

And this is Murph blogging while he is waiting for me to be ready for a bike ride. I came around the corner and found him at the computer with his bike helmet on and found the image so hilarious. He was a good sport about letting me take a picture.
