Hey guys. So after much searching and thinking this is what I'm doing: Until this arrives:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Jou vuilgoed!

Hahaha! Genade dude that must have been rough! My wife would sell my bike I swear. She often looks at my legs and just shakes her head...

Since I have been riding flats I feel like I have been enjoying myself more, can't say why tho. I have done some LONG rides in my 510 impact pro's and can't say that my feet felt any different than what they did when I did them clipped in. I do agree with Morne on the shin pads though. I still wear them from time to time although my shins look like they have been attacked by a rabid meerkat it is still not lekker to get moered by a pedal full of pins.

Awesome thanks. Seems like a roof rack might be the best idea.

I'm thinking the roofracks are the best idea. I don't really want to remove the front wheel.

Yes I'm thinking something like this. The shell thing is a little bigger than the load bed so I might have to drill some holes or whatever but I'm cool with that. Seasucker won't work because the thing has a rough surface.

Ah man I did not even consider the seat rubbing. I might have to get a tow hitch put on.

Thanks Chad. I'm still living in Brunei tho. Finding things here is difficult, will have to order somethin online. Can you share some pics of the things?

Hi everyone. I recently got a bakkie and it came with one of these: https://www.aeroklas.com/product/18436/deck-cover-speed I'm sure I can use a tailgate pad but the thought of driving with this thing half open sort of irks me. Has anyone got something similar with a bike rack on it or maybe a roof rack that could fit on it? I'm just fishing for ideas here. Thanks

This makes me sad. I really enjoyed riding there.

Ja that's why I got him onto a balance bike straight away, I did not want to go through the whole side wheel thing. I need to get my bike up and running so he can follow me around again.

This makes sense. Thanks Hayley.

I consider myself quite proficient at stuff and I store mine half way up or halfway down. The main reason is I ride a 27.5er and it is kind of half way so that is my running theme. My rear tire is currently deflated and my front is at 25psi so technically my tires are at 12.5psi. Half half balances things out. Sorry halfway through this I forgot what I was on about.

True. His balance bike has brakes on already and you can remove the foot stand or foot plate (Not sure what to call it) and then attach the cranks so, he will be on this bike for a while. He is pretty confident but as you say it is a lot to take in at the same time.

Lekker to read all the stories and see the pictures. When did you guys move your kids to a pedal bike? I was thinking as soon as my son can use the brakes I'll put the pedals on because he is using his feet to stop at the moment.

We went to the skatepark over the weekend but I think he might have been a bit intimidated by the sounds or the people. We had fun riding around the Radio controlled car track and then went for a walk on a little bush path. I'm thinking of getting a bmx for the park as my bike does not play nice there, maybe if he sees me riding there he won't feel as intimidated.

Hahaha! Thats awesome! Ours is also adventurous by nature and likes to “do” the tricks he sees on the youtube videos. I’ll take him to the skatepark this weekend as the pumptrack is so poorly maintained it is not ridable.

Nice to read some of the "riding" stories. I was planning on taking my son (2 and a bit years old) to the local pump track for the first time. I have never been there but when we arrived and saw the state of it I decided it is best to just "ride" on the footpaths in the park that surrounds it. He cruised along for about 10min until we spotted the 1st lizard. From there on out I was carrying his bike and checking for snakes, Lizards and all sorts of other critters. Was a fun day out.

Thanks man! They are pretty sweet.

Braam is QUICKLY getting the hang of his bike. Super chuffed!

Made me think of this thread. Always nice to have options.

He is quite about it tho.
