New and old bikes for comparison

As a reward for learning to cycle without stabilisers, Louise took Matthew to buy a new bike today - an Apollo Spektor.  The bike came from a local reseller who refurbishes and sells second-hand bicycles, so it wasnt expensive and it wont matter if Matthew damages it while continuing to learn.  Its still a very nice bike, though, with brand new tyres, reflectors, gears and even still has some of the original labels on so cant have had a great deal of use (or it has been well cared for).

Its quite a bit bigger than Matthews old Spiderman bike - the salesman measured Matthew to ensure that Louise bought a bike that was the right size for him.  He rode it outside after coming home, but was a little unsure of it when he slid off, and so when I came home from work he said he didnt like the bike.  He didnt want us to take it back though!  Hopefully hell get used to the new size and enjoy riding it.

Matthew has had a fun day today - as well as getting a new bike, Louise took him to watch the Minions film this morning, then they went swimming for Matthew to practise (he was still reluctant to swim in the big pool), had lunch in Debenhams and then went to see Gramps and had tea at McDonalds.
