My 4 year old stops for a quick drink and a breather after blasting his way around the family trail and part of the Kitchener at Sherwood Pines today. (Yep, his new bike does have 12 gears - I couldn't believe it.)

I get the feeling I won't be able to keep up with him for much longer 🙂

Superb.
Hope you dont mind me asking but where did you get the bike and how much. Looking to get my daughter a decent one and considering a spesh but that looks well cool.

@scott b - Bought it from the nice folks at Rutland Cycling. It's RRP is currently £280. It's a great little bike, very light, great brakes and the scaled down forks are superbly plush. Looked at several options and felt this one suited him best. It really is a proper MTB in minature and he loves it 🙂

Small Scotts ROCK! I have to say the geometry is way better than the Hardorck we have as well

Great stuff!
I took my girls(6&11) there last week they both loved it.
Most of all the ice creams at the end of the ride.

@matt_outandabout - I agree, the geometry is spot on, they have done a proper job of scaling the bike down for little dudes. The brakes are the best thing about it though, easy reach for him and very light action. He was really struggling with his brakes previously. Easily the best looking of all the bikes we saw as well IMO.
