Learning from the seat of the bike

I've recently taken up mountain biking. Partly, to change things up with my workouts. Partly, because my kids just got new bikes for Christmas and I wanted to have something to do with them. It was amazing seeing my daughter learn to ride without training wheels. First time out, I had to run behind her with my hand on the back of the seat and feeling her balance. During that first run, I let go a few times so she could feel how the bike handled.

And then she fell.
