Afternoon....
After years of minivader not being at all interested in his bikes he has finally decided that it's great.... Today we were out and his stabiliser mysteriously raised them selves above usefull height... Que lots of joyous shouting when we all realised he no longer needs them! 8) 8) 8) we have only been out twice before with these ones so even better. They will now be comming off the bike this afternoon 😀
Cheers
Awesome
Congrats!
Exiting times. Cant wait until my daughter gets the hang of her balance bike. So far the most interest she has in it is turning it upside down and spinning the front wheel.
We have had bikes for him since he could walk, just wasn't interested... Tbh it took the threat of selling his bike (and the tag along) but can't wait to get his confidence soaring...
Rusty, that just means she's going to be an ace mechanic, no shame there 🙂
And here is the after lunch no stabilisers shot....

" I wont be in the Tour de France I am a Mountain biker and we are slow"
Aged 7 1/2.
nice one junkyard... i got "daddy i'm riding like i stole it" and "i now need some clicky pedals like you"
he wants it pointing out that he did actually ride 22 miles today....he [ and his brother] have not got any faster but he has got further
I have said Jens said it got faster not easier but he is non plussed
Enjoy great days ahead now you are over the first hurdle
well this week my promise will be fulfilled... off to buy him his first pair of cycling gloves...
Rad.
My boy did the Mountain Marathon at Ruthin last weekend, I couldn't have done 56km when I was 12. Well proud, its great isn't it 😀
Nice one. Hopefully your son will be just as proud when your stabilisers come off too 😀
hell no!! My stabilizers are stayin put!!
Mine won't let go of his stabilisers... They're up as far as they go but are ultimately still useful. Going to have to bend them I guess. He's ace on his balance bike and can pedal and get the bike up on two wheels but has a fit when I take them off.
Well done your lad.
^^ we went through that with eldest. Then a week before his 4 th birthday he said "I am big now I ride without stabilisers, take them off". Despite the lack of a please we did and away he rode.
Mini gd2 rode for the first time today without stabilisers at two and a half. Couldn't start or stop unaided but half a dozen 20m runs across a big grass field. He wanted the back on so he could be self sufficient so back they went. When he's ready I am sure he will tell us.
Great for the op too. A new world of adventures awaits. 😀
