So saturday afternoon, my 4 year old and I were simply messing around on bikes, racing round the local school playground. We spy the steps. I ride down, he follows suit, and goes and does it again and again and again ๐Ÿ™‚

Not big steps, but with 14" wheels, they're big enough.

Awww, that's brilliant. Just think what he'll be doing in 10 years time? Probably shouting hurry dad you're too slow ๐Ÿ™‚

Cool. Did he pop the front wheel up? ๐Ÿ™‚

I had a weird moment on Sunday - my boy (10) and his friend went off on their bikes on their own... I think that's the first time he's gone riding his bike without me.

I'm really impresed with his riding. This last month its really come on as he's figured out that standing up helps get more power down for steep climbs, and also helps going over bumps. He's about to outgrow the Cnoc14 though, so I'm looking at the next stage bikes for him. Got carried away and bought a Kona Shred 20, but its WAAAY too big for him now!
