Bicycles

Much to Andrew's delight, Madeleine's new bike arrived yesterday. Seeing as it was such a nice evening we ventured out to for a test-drive after tea.

Brakes and pedals are new to Madeleine and so; a tutorial on the mechanics of the bike....

After half an hour of pedalling backwards, it finally clicked and she was off on her own! Thomas now has free reign to use the balance bike.

Tour de Stamford. Not sure what the stripy jersey here represents - King of the pavements?
