An ode to a bike

We bought Hinckley a bike when he turned 3.... Almost 2 years ago. He really struggled at pedaling. I think it was because every time he pushed back on the pedals it would put on the brake.

A few of his friends here in NM have bikes so we put Hinks on one the other day to see how he would do. Well, he took off! He loved it and got it! So off to the flea market we went. We bought a bike for $20. Hinckley loved it. LOVED IT! He rode that bike night and day. He washed it like 4 times in the 4 days he had it. Well, tradegy struck when he took the bike down a HUGE hill by the house. Actually, we were truly blessed that it was the bike that broke not him!

So off to the flea market we went again and bought another bike this one I believe was $10 and we kind of mixed and matched the 2 together. He still loves riding it and treats it like his baby!

this was his original bike
