That's an impressive distance from a wee fella on a heavy (looking) bike !

I thought it looked like one shape wise but has it been painted? Couldn't see the diagonal stripe!
It seems they changed the design in 2014. This sounds geekier than it is, honest - he got his previous Islabike Cnoc 14 for his 4th birthday in 2013, which had the old red paint with the silver logos, the new one he got for Christmas has a slightly more orange hue and a very subtle (ie invisible!) logo.
I hope he stops outgrowing his bike every 18 months - thank heavens he has a little sister who can grow resentful of never getting a new bike herself (as a younger brother I know how she'll feel)!

We did the Country Park today for hot chocolate, it was fffffffffffffreeezing!
So, Little H is now 5 so a new bike for his birthday....
It's a Raleigh Zero 16" Wheel. And have to say, it's a very well made bike. Not too heavy and has a very nice paint job.
I was a little worried that the bike was a little too big for him. As you can see, even with the seat at it's lowest, he is up on tiptoes. BUT.. after a few short lessons and practice of how to stop and start (his previous bike had a back pedal brake) he was off. My worries were unfounded. There was no stopping him once he got going.

Depends on the skill level of the child. If it was one of those children whose bike still looked brand new after 6months because they never used it I would say slightly too high. However for someone who is confident and has good control it looks fine!
Happy birthday to Junior! But he makes me feel old that he has already reached the grand age of 5! Is this his 3rd bike?

With all the thick mud, it was safer to Wee Hoo to the country park for Maggot!
