He's far happier now he's growing into it. That said we've done 2.5 miles on the go kart today! Not bad considering he's not 4 till April.

Brilliant.. that's great going.
Who needs a Frog?

Been a bit quiet in here, I guess it's been too cold and wet. Anyway, while little-legged Mad Scientist went to a farm with her schoolfriend, I took Drama Queen out for a decent length ride along NCN 6 from Darley Park to Elvaston Castle. Well, mostly. We took a detour down NCN 66, so gave her a first ride along proper roads, as she missed out on Bikeability.

Lovely bike ride today from Exeter to Exmouth on ncn2

Very fun, albeit a bit wet and muddy day at Haldon Park, near Exeter.
Only had my cross bike, so didn't venture onto the red route, but the green and blue were a lot of fun.

Does this count?

After she helped clean my bikes she decided to finaly take her stabalizers off. She was flying round the park after half an hour... having to buy her a bigger bike now! Was tempted by an isla bike, but it might have to be an argos special. She doesnt care as long as its pink.

Although expensive, just look at second hand isla and you'll see they keep their value really well.
I went for a Frog bike for my boy, and I think it's worth it. It's so much lighter and better made than a cheapo one.

Balance bike v stabilizer duel..

And another ride along the Exe, other side of the river this time.
Beautiful.

I've not been on for a while, both lads have come on so much.
I'm gonna have to go back through this thread.

What can I say, the snob in me won! It was his 4th birthday yesterday so family chipped in to buy this.
It's great and the hours on the balance bike paid off as he was pedalling away within the hour. I couldn't tell whether the feeling in my stomach was pride or apprehension!

The next Laura Trott, my 12 year old on her new road bike, 15 miles round trip to Redhill Park at 12.5mph 620ft climbing. Bloody nerve wracking for Dad though got to find some quieter roads, the A23 doesn't cut it.

The Frog is a fantastic bike. My son has one, albeit quite a bit larger.

Just fitted a new twistgrip shifter to my 10yr olds MTB and now we are off along the canal into Manchester for a curry lunch

I will try to get some pictures to add later......

I should have invited @potsy to join us but I don't think he would get value for money from the all-you-can-eat lunchtime buffet at Swadesh
