On a slight tangent, I have a Towhee I hadn’t used for ages, as my 9yo has turned into a bit of a mountain goat and just disappears off as soon as the trail points upwards.
This weekend I thought I’d try it out with my 4yo as he’s now riding solo. All was fine and dandy until I noticed he was riding beside me whilst simultaneously heading either side of a 4ft post. Cue hilariously grabbed brakes and disaster was just about averted.
Set of again and I could immediately feel his tyre buzzing mine. I put a half a turn on the pedals to give a bit of distance and some how managed to pull the bike from under him.
I think I’ll leave it a bit, until he’s a bit older and his dad’s a bit less of an idiot.
