Countless tumbles on the track and he breaks his collarbone in our complex driveway.

Hope he heals up soon.

Strongs to the little one man, its part of the learning curve.

Took my little guy and the dogs out again today.

Must say his a tough little bugger, had a few off's and a biggish OTB on a ramp today, but no tears shed.

Thanks guys. The struggle is keeping that sling on.

Not riding with but I certainly did a lot of running back and forth.

Must be his cycling shoes causing his falls[emoji85]

 

Knowing and not doing and doing without knowing is dangerous!

Since he got those blue gumboots it's been an ongoing battle trying to get him to wear anything else.

Here is what she did:

Will this work on a carbon frame bike?

Hi Pointer

 

 

These seats are not recommended for carbon frames.

I'm on the IDT for 90 mins watching stage 21 of the Tour.

 

My little one wants to be "just like me", and the only way is to mount the front wheel on a riding block and back wheels on the rollers.

 

"Dad, why is it so hard (to pedal)?" she says.

I used one of these . . .  Similar concept to the one Brandon78 advised.  

Work wonders on my carbon bike. Can not really scratch the bike. 

Put on and take off very quickly or switch between bikes.

Works good on my carbon full suspension.

Think it was R550 at Sportmans Warehouse. 

My kid rode on it from 12months till 2years.

 

 

 

I looked at one of these over the weekend.

 

Also have a carbon frame. It looked a bit flimsy.

 

Is it worth getting one?

Definitely worth it. Still use mine with the four year old laaitie (and his little sister). Don't tell his mom/judge my reckless parenting, but I often take him down g-spot here in Stellies... He really enjoys it, shouting "whooohooo, this is FUN!" die hele pad af. He quickly learnt to "HOU VAS!"

 

My little girl (2) is starting to enjoy it too. I found that on the first rides, when she was about 20 months, she struggled to hold the handlebar properly. But you simply adjust what you attempt to ride to what the kid can safely handle.
