One of the things we decided to do was teach Anjali how to ride the scooter and we finally got down to it. Luckily she knows how to ride a bicycle and has now picked up enough strength to handle a bike and we decided to take off. When we began her worry was - how can i take another person on the bike? First we thought we should worry about taking herself on the bike.

So Daddy Long Legs joined her in the first few small rides on the road next to our house and she slowly got a hang of the accelerator and the brake - how to go forward and how to stop. I helped her turn around and then handed her the handle. She did pretty good and after day one said - That was pretty easy!
On Day 2, considering that she was doing a fairly good job on her own, I decided to let her ride on her own on the longer road in front of our house. She did a good job of that - some five or six rounds by herself. Of course,from day 1, Akela was at her side, encouraging her, looking after her mistress,bounding along in her joy and excitement at what she knew was something momentous for her mistress. Anjali was pretty thrilled with Day 2.
On Day 3, Mansi came and Anjali upped the ante. 'Nanna, can I take Mansi on a ride?'. Give her an inch and she will take a mile - which i like. I said, sure and so they did, both friends riding around on the road. I made them sing 'Yeh dosti..' and tried to record it but the audio was pretty bad. Anyway, good progress day on day and soon I am sure she will be confident enough to take the bike to the shop near the colony etc.
Good one Anjali. You learned the basics pretty quick and can surely ride off on the road with a little more practice. You are way better than a lot of riders I have seen on the road so good going.
