Bedtime story about Grandpa Arvid.
Once upon a time Grandpa Arvid was a little boy, well he was my little brother. He loved biking, even when he was a very small boy. Not really a surprise, is it? He never had a tricycle or a bike with training wheels. No, that would have been a dream for a little boy like him. We had a men’s family bike. When Grandpa Arvid was preschool, maybe 5-6 years old, he so very, very much wanted to ride the new family bike.
As the youngest in the family, he would not hang back from the rest of the siblings, who all learned to ride the new bike. But Grandpa Arvid was short and could not swing his leg over the crossbar. So, with some help from Dad he got onto the bike, sticking his right leg through and underneath the bar and started to pedal. Before long he got the hang of it and in no time you could see this adult bike coming down the road with a little boy hanging on the side, at times looking under the steering bar and other times above the steering bar. I wonder if Grandpa Arvid would be riding his bike today with de same endurance and determination, if he had not had that special training time as a youngster. More courage to you Grandpa Arvid, Irene
