just a few days after taking his pedals off so he could master the First Law of Bicycling, Speed=Stability, odin asked to have the pedals put back on.

after a brief tutorial on how to position the pedals to get some momentum when pushing off from standing still, he was pedaling on his own volition!

then we went for a relaxing 1.5 mile bike ride to chilito lindo for a celebratory meal.

and, yes, his gardening gloves make for fine riding gloves 🙂
