After about 45 minutes or so, he wanted to go up the big hill a little ways and ride down as fast as he could. He wasn't able to pedal very far up the hill but he pushed the bike to get where he wanted to go. He used to love gliding down the hill on his balance bike.
At first he did really well going down the hill and across the bridges. He did great breaking. But then he was going so fast that he lost all control of the bike. Too bad I wasn't videoing him. The bike was all over the place and then he crashed. I was so relieved when he immediately got up and started running to me. Thankfully, he wasn't hurt except for a couple of scrapes.
I was also relieved to look up and see Chris walking toward us when the wreck happened. Wesley got one scrape above his wrist, but mainly he just scraped up his check. And the bike! He couldn't get back on it and try again (we all really wanted him to try again) because the chain came off the bike and the back axle needs to be realigned. The handle bars are scraped up but I think they are okay. 
The hill is much bigger than it looks in this picture. Wesley whined all the way home. Both kids and the bike rode in and on the stroller. Once we were home, Wesley wanted a band-aid to cover up his scrape so he couldn't see it. He was immediately fine after that.
