I have just recieved this by e-mail from my father-in -law.

I didn't understand at first. Then I reslised it was my son. On his first go on a proper pedal bike. I am super proud, but sad not to have been there as I am working overseas.

Super super emotional. Words cannot describe how I feel.

The thread title reminds me of a joke I like.

What makes you feel sad and happy at the same time?

Great vid. A few years back you wouldn't have been able to record or view it so at least you got to see him on his maiden ride. Kids learn quick, he'll be doing tailwhips in a week or two ๐Ÿ™‚

jhw:I am sad that I was not there. I am happy that my son is enjoying being on a bike.

Yossarian: Absolutely. That is a very good point I had not realised.

BIKES ROCK!!!

My three year old started pedalling for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Was awesome being there to see it but it would be nice to have it on video.......

Fantastic!! Great to look back on too. We've some cracking footage of our eldest riding without stabilisers for the first time (balance bikes didn't exist back then ๐Ÿ˜† ) and the camera pans to his younger brother scrapping with a neighbour's child of similar age who he then swings around into the nearest lamp post (cue rather stunned looking toddler) ๐Ÿ˜ณ - proper 'you've been framed' material ๐Ÿ˜†

taught two of my nieces to ride last summer. the video was the first thing i showed their mother after she came round after seven weeks in intensive care. i have a few pics of my own, but videos of first rides really add to what is after all a dynamic step.
