ZayLeigh walked into the backyard and saw a shiny pink bike with a bow. "Is that for me?" she squealed. Grandmother smiled, "Yes, we bought it just for you!" Grandpa winked and said, "Ready to ride, peanut?" ZayLeigh hugged her grandparents tightly. She touched the handlebar and giggled. Grandmother said, "Let's learn together today." ZayLeigh nodded excitedly. The adventure was about to begin!

Grandmother handed ZayLeigh a bright red helmet. "Safety first!" she said. ZayLeigh giggled as Grandma fastened the chinstrap. Grandpa adjusted the bike seat to the right height. "There you go, ZayLeigh," he said kindly. ZayLeigh sat on the seat and wobbled a little. "Whoa!" she laughed, holding the handles. Grandmother gave her a thumbs-up. "You look like a real bike rider now!"

Grandpa held tightly to the back of the seat. "Ready, ZayLeigh?" he asked. ZayLeigh nodded, gripping the handles hard. The bike wobbled as she pushed her feet on the pedals. "You can do it!" Grandmother cheered from nearby. ZayLeigh pedaled a little and then stopped. "It's harder than I thought," she said. Grandpa smiled, "Practice makes perfect." ZayLeigh agreed to try again.

Grandmother stood on one side, cheering. Grandpa steadied ZayLeigh as she started to pedal. "Keep your eyes forward," Grandpa said calmly. ZayLeigh tried hard to balance. "You’re doing great!" cheered Grandmother. The bike moved a few feet before wobbling again. ZayLeigh laughed, "Almost!" Grandpa patted her back. "Let’s go again."

ZayLeigh practiced keeping her feet on the pedals. Grandpa showed her how to keep her balance. "Hold the handlebars straight," he encouraged. Grandmother clapped as ZayLeigh managed to ride a little farther. "Yay!" shouted Grandmother. ZayLeigh beamed with pride. She kept trying, getting steadier each time. "You’re almost there," said Grandpa. ZayLeigh nodded, determined to keep going.

ZayLeigh tipped to the side and tumbled onto the grass. "Oh no!" cried Grandmother, rushing over. ZayLeigh sat up and checked her knees. "I’m okay," she said bravely. Grandpa helped her stand up and dust off. "Falls happen to everyone," he told her gently. Grandmother gave ZayLeigh a gentle hug. "We’re so proud of you for trying," she said. ZayLeigh smiled and climbed back on.

ZayLeigh took a deep breath and started pedaling again. This time, Grandpa let go for a few seconds. "Look, ZayLeigh! You’re riding!" shouted Grandmother excitedly. ZayLeigh felt the bike move forward by itself. "I’m doing it!" she cheered, laughing happily. Grandpa ran alongside, arms out just in case. ZayLeigh balanced for a short time before stopping. She grinned wide, "That was awesome!" Her grandparents cheered together.

Grandmother brought out cool lemonade for everyone. ZayLeigh sipped her drink and wiped her forehead. "Riding a bike makes me thirsty," she said. Grandpa sat beside her, smiling. "You worked very hard," he told her. "Bike riding is fun," ZayLeigh said between sips. Grandmother nodded, "Taking breaks is important, too." ZayLeigh rested in the shade for a few minutes. She was ready to try again soon.

Grandpa suggested, "Let’s try riding down the driveway." ZayLeigh sat on her bike, excited. Grandmother stood at the end, arms open wide. "Ride to me, ZayLeigh!" she called. ZayLeigh pushed off and started pedaling. This time, she rode all the way down. Grandmother hugged her at the end. "You did it!" Grandpa cheered proudly. ZayLeigh was filled with happiness.

Neighbors peeked over the fence and waved. "Wow, ZayLeigh!" one called, "You’re a great rider!" ZayLeigh smiled and pedaled in a big circle. Grandpa clapped his hands and laughed with joy. Grandmother waved and shouted, "That's our girl!" ZayLeigh felt proud and brave. She rode around her grandparents, ringing her bike bell. They all celebrated together, making ZayLeigh feel special.

ZayLeigh asked, "Can we all ride bikes together?" Grandpa laughed, "If only Grandma and I fit on your little bike!" Grandmother giggled, "But we can walk beside you and cheer!" ZayLeigh rode slowly as her grandparents walked next to her. She smiled, feeling safe and happy. Grandpa told a funny story as they strolled. Grandmother sang a little song. The sun shined on their family parade. ZayLeigh felt proud and loved.

That evening, ZayLeigh put her bike away with a big smile. "Thank you for my bike," she told her grandparents. Grandmother hugged her, "You worked so hard today." Grandpa winked, "You’re a real bike rider now!" ZayLeigh beamed proudly. She thought about her fun day. "Can we ride again tomorrow?" she asked. Her grandparents nodded. ZayLeigh couldn't wait for her next adventure.
