- Today is the bike test!
Okay, so Claire has been learning to ride a bike for,
how long Claire?
- A couple weeks now.
- She is like dad I'm ready to take
the training wheels off my bike.
And I was like whoa, that's pretty early,
are you sure you're ready?
And what did you say?

- And that first day we practiced, and practiced
and how many pedals did you do by yourself?

- And then, as soon as you start falling I go,
and I catch you, and then I put you back up,
then go, on the side of you, catch you.

So I don't remember exactly when it happened
but at some point Claire was like,
dad I'm ready to be an official bike rider!
- Do you think I'm officially a bike rider?
- Why did you wanna become an official bike rider?
- Well, I watch all the other kids.
- In the neighborhood?
- Yes, and it was just a feeling I got that
I wanted to be and official bike rider
just like the other kids I saw.
- So then we were like,
how do you become an official bike rider?
And somehow this conversation developed into
she would have to take an official bike test,
but if she passed she would get a bike certificate.
That means that Claire is an official bike rider.
So that is where we are right now,
Claire is about to take the official
bike... test. - Bike test.
- Every night before she goes to bed she goes dad,
what's gonna be on the bike test?
Because she wants to know, but she doesn't know
- Yeah, and I have to know because I want to prepare.
- So I'm gonna tell you right now,
- Seriously?
- Yeah, you ready to know what's on the bike test?
- Yes!
- Okay, in order to get your official
bike riding certificate
you have to do the following things:
You have to ride uphill to the fire hydrant.
10 turn arounds, all the way.
Three sidewalk circles, where you go on and off the sidewalk
to the road and back onto the sidewalk.
20 tight circles.
You have to do five figure eights in a row.
You have to do an emergency skid stop,
so if I say car, car car!
An emergency skid stop.
And the last thing is
you have to go from the very,
very top of the hill to the bottom.
(Claire gasps)
(laughing)
- No, no, no, no, no, I am not doing that.
- You don't have to.
- Yes I do, I have to,
I have to pass the test and that's part of the test.
- (laughs) okay, so you got it?
If you do all those things, you are an official bike rider.
- And I earn my certificate.
- And you earn your certificate.
You ready to go do it?
- Yes.
- Kay, let's do it.
Where's my high five?
- Lets do this!
(hands slapping)
- Lets do this.
