Your kids on bikes pics......

Arrange for Mrs ianrauk to drop mini-ianrauk at bottom of Ditchling at 6am

I can imagine that would make me hugely popular

You can always put our trailer on the back of the tandem. I did that a couple of times when I had to drop Frebbers to school and Fudge to pre-school. Only once did I then dash on to work without particularly recalling that I had about 5 metres of wheeled transport behind me until I arrived.

Bike parking in the mews does not particularly accommodate this amount of steel

On Portobello prom too !

Heading out to the park

 

[Justinslow]

Learning to ride his new racer, little bit big for him yet, but it fits his sister quite nicely thankyou, much to his annoyance!

Well 8 months later and 14 months into treatment and Shaun has decided he wants back on two wheels though it looks like a new bike is going to be on the cards

The school that no 2 daughter currently goes to in Brighton organised a sponsored cycle from Merstham to Brighton, and, although I am allegric to asking people to pay for something I'd do for my own pleasure, to routes waymarked with signs at every single junction and then some, and to compulsory helmets, we wanted to do it for her sake. So here are her and me:

So, in nostalgic mood, it gives me an excuse to reflect on other stages of kids on tandems:

A child not yet born on a tandem:

A rather young child (and a Godmother seizing an opportunity):

and a well padded child:

Then the tandem acquired kiddycranks:

Then, in fact, a second tandem appeared, ostensibly for school run purposes but we all know that's just an excuse:

And yes, some solo bikes did make an appearance too:

And occasionally, someone else's child appeared, my Cumbrian nephew being keener on Hardknot than my own children:

And now the tandem is devoid of kiddycranks again and I have an almost-adult on the back and it feels like the wheel has turned full circle and life has moved on.. Or possibly .

Is he Justinfast?

 

[PeteXXX]

No1 grandson thinking that his first bike will be an Inflite 8....

 

[Justinslow]

Is he Justinfast?

Lol, yeah he does like a bit of speed, typical boy I guess!

 

[The Rover]

4 miler this morning with the boy, whilst I'm loving riding with him I'm still gutted that we can't use the wee ride anymore.

 

[Stevec047]

Boys birthdays last week and they both got balance bikes No1 son has taken to it like a fish in water and is already pushing for speed. No2 son who is the daredevil out of the two of them is slowly getting used to the balance aspect of the bike but it won't be long before he is terrorising his big brother.

Sonic lives!!

My 5 year-old took part in the Tour of Norway Kids today. I'm very proud of him.
Here being interviewed by national tv - in which he said he'd like to cycle so fast he produces flames:

The start line:

And the post-ride wind down on the bubble bike
