skuut abuut (think canadian accent)




my grandma & grandpa got me a skuut bike for my birthday which is a cool-wood version of a bike without pedals. (which essentially teaches you the feeling of balancing on a bike using your feet as "training wheels") my cousin lussi has a skuut, and i've heard that my friend yoko has a pedal-less bike as well ... (we also know a little finnish-buddy (artur)who has a bike without pedals, too!)


my mom thinks it is funny that i've begun sticking my tongue out of my mouth when i'm skutting abuut on my new bike - revealing the concentration it requires.... since i really like to look at my feet doing the work, or at the wheels spinning -- the mechanics, you know -- but that doesn't always bode-well for high-speeds or staying on a straight path. :)

Hi Silo! Happy birthday greetings from us too (sorry that we are so late)! What a cool bike you have! Artur loves his. He usually preferes to ride his pedal-less bike but he also has a little bit bigger "real" bike which he has just learned to ride without help. Biking is so much fun and so must be fishing too. It was really nice that you quys sent all those videos!
Love and hugs,
