Life with RaKhem Ajani: RaKhem's 1st Bike Ride

Now I know what y'all are going to say, "Ra has not ridden a bike yet?" Well up until today, no he hadn't. He rode his "hot rod tricycle" all day long...but he has just received his first "big boy bicycle" for his 4th birthday and was able to ride it today. Now when I say "big boy bike", we are talking a 16 inch Spiderman Bike. It was recommended that (for his age range) that we purchase the "12 inch" bike, but have you seen this boy lately??? I have to literally convince people that he is how old I say he is. I feel compelled to carry his birth certificate around with me to validate my claims.

Well, we all know that Ra's birthday was last week...so why so long since he was able to finally ride it?! Well, little man is still adjusting to his pre-school, so he had a couple of rough days. We agreed that if he could straighten up his act that he would be able to ride his bike after school. Today was the day he decided to straighten it up. He had a great day at school, so he was able to break it in. He only fell down once and was a trooper the whole time (despite how scared he may have been to be so far from the ground). Plus he had enough padding on that he could have done some Mixed Martial Arts and still not have gotten scratched.

So here are some pics...enjoy!!!
