New Adventures in Mobility

Elliot joined the growing ranks of Portland's bicycle-commuters this month, something we've been looking forward to for a long time. Here's a quick snapshot of how it went.


Step 1: Acclimation
Helmets aren't the most natural things for a toddler to get used to wearing, so we gave Elliot plenty of time to practice.




Can't we just have him wear this everywhere?



Step 2: Inspiration
obviously.



Step 3: Preparation



Step 4: Locomotion!



Stepping up to his new co-pilot duties.



Some raw video from the day-one test runs:

I love him in the helmet! What a cutie!! But then I'm highly prejudiced! :)

Sooo cute!

BTW, what's the big red sticker on his helmet? Is that the brand name, or did you sell advertising rights on your son's noggin? ;)
