Alex loses the training wheels

Alex decided the time had come for to lose the training wheels and ride like the big girls. Perhaps it was the safety camp earlier in the summer where the older kids rode free - or possibly the neighborhood girls riding around with reckless abandon. Whatever the source of motivation, it was powerful as Alex nailed her first attempt and never looked back. And so Alex proudly joined the growing ranks of the neighborhood "biker" gang.

No stopping her now.
