With the new camera that Toots gave us for Christmas, we bought a clamp so we could attach the camera to the handlebars of bikes. This is our first attempt at using it.
Bo went first and he was riding his big kid bike (no training wheels, real peddles) with Daddy running next to him holding onto the seat. We try to make him steer the bike and peddle himself while Daddy just holds him steady. He freaks out a little bit if he doesn't see someone actually holding the bike. If he would just get over that fear, he would be able to ride because in this example he went a good 20yds on his own with Daddy "pretending" to hold the seat and him on the bike balanced.
He was actually so nervous about it that the only way I could get him to ride the big kid bike was to bribe him with saying he will be on youtube.

Of course, Emmy had to try this out too. She was riding her strider bike which is the bike without peddles so she just uses her feet to move along. She hasn't quite mastered it. She goes very slow and we have to constantly remind her to stay sitting down on the seat. When you stand up and ride, you aren't really practicing your balance which is the key to the whole Strider bike idea.
As you can see from the video, she was ready to perform. She starts out saying "cheeseburger"
