Your kids on bikes pics......

Cycle provision in Derby is pretty good. I'd have been tempted to hoof it up to the Peak District today, but we decided to mill about Markeaton Park which is just up the road. Here the Mad Scientist (left) and the Drama Queen are outside part of Markeaton Hall, ancestral home of the Mundy family, which was demolished in 1964. We'd never been up this end of the park before...

Here they are riding home. To the left is the BMX park. These are among the best things a council can do for kids - being effectively a lump of concrete, they're pretty much maintenance free, and graffiti just adds to the charm.

Here are my two boys, oldest is 7 next month, little one is 3 yrs and 7 months. Took him to a local park in Glasgow to try taking his stabilisers off for the first time, 30 mins later he was off on his own!
Posing next to the Commonwealth Games mascot - Clyde. (Took their helmets off for the pic!)

Lovely pic. It really doesn't take long for kids to get the hang of cycling, you did well to get him off the stabilisers, they are the devil's work and do make kids lazy by relying on them.

You helmet comment was superfluous.

30 minutes was all it took, removed the stabilisers and pedals and then let him get his balance, put one pedal on so he could ride it like a scooter, then put the other pedal on and it just clicked for him. Next day he was off on his own round a loch while we walked the dog behind him. He's been out on it every since learning to ride it!

Not mine I confess, but this wee lad was very sweet, riding in the road with his mum behind him giving instructions. She told him that he needed to stop, look behind him, and then signal. So he did all of that (whilst stationary at the side of the road), and then turned into the side road. And he was asking her questions about why he was doing it! You should have seen how straight the signal was

It just made me smile and decided that this photo didn't identify him (since I don't know him).

nice pics - good family fun

but please buy these kids some gloves - first thing they do is put their hands out if falling

No piccies but mini ck 1 (7) is now riding on the road albeit the side roads around the local estate with me behind giving pointers on positioning , signalling etc !
Its a pity he is small for his age as he is on a bike for a 4-6 year old and i think a geared bike would help him a lot especially on the hills .

Little Samuel (5) has taken to his new geared bike very well, and it was taken with us on a family holiday in Alnmouth. I found a little route that he was able to tackle, down NCR 1 from Alnmouth to Warkworth Castle, accompanied by Mum and Dad.

He did have a crash on the way when he slipped off the edge of the path, but no damage done, and after a few minutes feeling sorry for himself, he was back on and away. There was also a small road section at the end, but it's quiet and he followed instructions well. He even got most of the way up the steepish hill at the end. Proud Mum, Dad and Uncle Mike

He's also very willing to call out obstructions
