@MrAtomlinson1283 3 года назад

The kids are the reason I got back into riding after 16 years. Had to break out into a run to keep up with them on their bikes, so figured I may as well join in the fun. Best decision I've made this year.

@sebastianjost 3 года назад

I hope you're still riding and having fun. I hated cycling the first 15 years of my life but within a week of getting a rather good bike (~400€) from my older brother, I loved it. A decent bike can make a massive difference.

@CinimodMG 3 года назад

I use a Shotgun seat for my 3 year old daughter and a Cleary Hedgehog with knobby tires for my 5 year old. We go mountain biking all the time and they love it! Edit: I have a full face helmet for my daughter... I've had visions of her mouth hitting my bars.

@billoleary1079 3 года назад

This is a brilliant video. Went straight from a balance bike to a second hand Islabike with my daughter when she was 4 and she learnt to ride in an afternoon. Now, a year later, we went on a 10km ride yesterday. Most important thing is the supply of Fruit Pastels to cheer her up when she wants a break or falls off. She loves muddy puddles too!!!

@timmcdowell3097 3 года назад

Leaving brakes on and taking crank off is genius move

@andycaine4117 3 года назад

My 2 yr old was awesome on his balance bike and even doing the local pump track with a push on the steep sections. I got him riding his new pedal bike just before his 3rd birthday and also noticed he started to lose interest in going on his bike. I took the pedals off but it wasn’t the bike he’d had all that fun on before. Wish I hadn’t of pushed it in one way but he’s slowly coming round to the new bike now but it’s just something to be mindful of. What might seem fun for you isn’t necessarily what they see as more fun.

@thecakeisalie7070 3 года назад

Riding with kids is absolutely fun! My kid says he'd rather MTB than play video game now! We've gone from a kick bike to 16" "mtb" to 18" bmx to 24" GT, then the latest upgrade has been a 2005 Transition Bottlerocket. I've learned that there's a huge gap in quality bikes for kids 9-14 yr age. Either you got a 24" hardtail or an adult sized 27.5". Gotta have the right sized bike to keep them progressing! Got my kid hooked on black diamond trails and working on jumps with style. Bring back the 26ers!

@marcusolsson287 3 года назад

I have learn that its important to not ride in evenings when bugs come out and might hit the small people in thier eyes. But apart from that its super fun to get out and ride with your kids!

@RLFWE1 3 года назад

Might have to pick up a shotgun seat soon for my youngest. I really recommend the followme tandem adapter for helping children to learn to ride their own bikes and transition from balance bikes. After 4 or 5 rides on the followme tandem at a gentle speed they just get it. I think when they start they don't realise that you need a bit of speed to balance, and they are scared of any speed. The tandem bracket reduces their fear of speed massively. Also means you can control them safely in traffic on the road.

@stevejazzband 2 года назад

I got my 6-year-old daughter riding after a lot of trouble learning. She became an absolute shredder and I decided to take her to my local trail. We were going down a fire trail with a little bit of a dip that led to another uphill, she turned around to me and said, "watch this daddy, I'm going to pick up some speed" Right around the bottom of the dip her back wheel started fishtailing and she ended up face first in the gravel.... It happened so fast all I could say was, "wait hold on" and she was gone. She was okay and got up and rode back to the truck just fine. But it was definitely a pivotal moment. I could see her making a decision in her head if this activity was worth the pain it required. It's a realization we all have to come to but I'm glad she chose to continue forward with it.

My son loves to ride... Without stabilizers since he was 3. He's now 5 and this summer he had a really bad fall going down a hill, he went over the bars and the first thing that hit the floor was his chin. He had a normal helmet on but he landed face first. He was immediately concussed and ha no idea what happend and why there was so much blood. He was back on his bike 3 days later and now doesn't ride without his full face helmet. 👍
