My son had a Rouen before his Battaglin,good solid bike.
Don’t know what part of Sheffield you’re from but the cycle circuit at Forge Valley School(Myers Grove) is a good place to get used to drops/STis.1km long and no traffic!

Thanks Sniper, grandparents live just around the corner so it wouldn't be too much trouble, how do you use forge valley, do they have open sessions?

Now on bike #2 for the little one. A Schwinn BMX. Up from 14" wheels to 18" ones, and knocking minutes off PBs on Strava.

Kudos to Ben at Venture Bikes in Birmingham. Bike was second hand from a friend. I paid nothing more than a couple of bars of chocolate for it. Ben cast his eye over it, and then replaced all the brake cables, including the gyrator, which he describes as being useless for a small kid, and just makes braking effort more difficult. Also removed the stablisers, which I wanted gone anyway.

Took these pics a few years ago in Matlock town, fantastic youngsters racing, just look at the concentration and enjoyment on their faces

I highly recommend Copenhagen. IMO it's even better than Amsterdam for cycling.

Added a third bike to my sons stable.He has a road and CX bike but they aren't ideal for just messing about with his mates so got him a BMX.(He'd out grown his MTB).
What is it about a BMX that turns them into an instant "Yoof"

My lad loves his Wiggins bike, shame he can only just reach the levers
