Noah's 7yearold Bike

This is God's provision to our family, let me tell ya !

We are gearing up for vacation and are planning to bike. My tires on my 15 yr. Gary Fisher need replacement. $50 ! And, Hubby did the work of installing them. That is way too much money, IMHO.
Noah's bike was a bit too small for him, and need wheel barrings ( whatevertheyare).
We priced bikes, and it was out of the question to buy on for Noah.
So, he and I huddled on the couch and prayed, if the Lord would give him a bike ?
I posted on my F/B status asking friends for a hand-me-down. No go.
I listed on Freecycle, and by the next afternoon.....Noah and Daddy were pumping air, and washing his new bike. It's cool b/c it has hand breaks, gears, and a front shock, he is so pleased with it, and God.
Now, should I let him ride around the block on his own ? Yesterday, I followed him in my car to see if he could do, and he can.........?
