I don’t quite know the reason why, but Maggie has always had an affinity for bikes.  Anytime she sees a bike, whether it’s in a book, on TV, or on the street, she points and says “Biiii”.

So last week we headed over to Target with the idea of getting her a “bike” of her own.  Before we could even get to the toy department, she saw the display of regular bikes in the sporting goods section.  She cried, “BIII!!  BIIII!!!” and was visibly agitated that we weren’t taking her to the bikes right away.

In the toy department, we let her try several tricycles, which she did enjoy, but she still kept wandering over to the sporting goods to touch the big bikes.  We finally settled on a four-wheeled “bike” that can be used within the house.

She loves to sit on her bike and have her daddy push her around.  She doesn’t yet know how to move it on her own by using her legs, but I’m sure she’ll get it someday.

I bet she’s really going to enjoy it this spring when I get a child-carrier for my bike and ride around with her on the back.  What a blast that will be for both of us!
