Not exactly on bikes, but here's the Mad Scientist and the Drama Queen at Hick's Lodge in the National Forest (honest...).
I could have sworn I'd posted a pic of Little Ms. Admin on her bike before, but it seems not. Here we go then:
We'd just taken the stabilisers off and she was bombing up and down the footpath. She hadn't quite mastered staying on the bike and turning at this point and would stop, get off, grab the saddle and bars, and lift it around 180 degrees and then jump on and bomb along back in the opposite direction.
Fast forward a few years (to tonight in fact) - and it's random bike ride time!! Off to Grandma's for a surprise attack on the biscuit tin and that lovely cold bottle of lemonade in the fridge.

I want a recumbant but swmbo has banned me buying any more bikes and my commute takes in a path that is not wide enough for a trikes front wheels.
SWMBO may be a problem that can't be resolved....but so far, I haven't found a cycle path that I can't ride on. There is one squeeze stile near where I live which I have to be virtually stationary and navigate carefully - but all the others, I can take quite easily. There are of course narrow track trikes too...
Well here is number 1 son, Hormone Jnr at last nights race. He's a small 12 year old, unfortunately his 13th birthday is this year so he has to race in the u14/u16 races... big ask when every other rider is a foot taller, but he did so well last night I was so proud.
Each lap is 1 mile, and his fastest lap was 2 mins 33 secs, avg 2 mins 42. Last night was the first race that he managed to hang onto the back of the peleton for the entire first lap, and he only finished half a lap off the winner.
Big heart and huge effort for little legs

Last night they only did 18 mins plus 1 lap, so I think it ended up 7 plus the final lap at the bell.
Usually they do 20 mins plus 1 lap, but they were running late so had to trim the races a little.
I love the determined look on his face, he really buries himself.
New wheels on route as the hubs on the stock wheels are poor, and they will have Conti GP4000 tyres - the only downside to the 650 sizing has been the choice and supply of replacement wheels and tyres, but hopefully the new ones will roll a lot better and they will certainly take 1kg out of the bike - 3.4kg for the existing set with skewers and cassette is a hell'uva lot for a lad that doesn't weight 6 stone!

Me and my youngest, Vikram. I love this as he's looking up in awe at Buckingham Palace saying "Is that Buckingham Palace?"
He did 10 miles - this was yesterday at the London Free Ride. 2 of the miles were on roads outside the Free Ride and, indeed, after Free Ride was shut. We took him back to Waterloo via Victoria and Westminster, sort of. @McWobble and Mice looked after him, then me and Mice took him to the pub to celebrate. Wait 'til he gets on his posh road bike - he's a good cyclist already.
Mice taught him all about gears. McWobble lost to him at computer games that morning.

You're looking a bit nervous in that photo CoG. Were you worried that you were going to fall off (again)?

Isn't that a classic pose from the Chris Froome school of cycling?
Back in 19mumble7 I learned on a 28" wheel rod brake situpandbeg roadster with 6" wooden blocks screwed to both sides of the pedals so a 6 year old could reach them. Got fed up of setting off on the caravan step and getting off by falling on to the grass so learned the scoot mount and dismount (with cross bar about head height).
