Was browsing another forum and saw some people mention that kids on balance bikes on trails are an annoying hazard. Is this a commonly held view?
I take my littlest lad on his balance bike to the local trail centre, and I run behind him (I think he's ready for me to cycle behind him now but I usually end up carrying him and the bike up the hill first so don't really want to have to push my bike too...)
Is he an annoying obstacle? We stick to the green trail when it is busy (no blue where we go) and do the orange too when it is quiet. And when I say I run behind him, I mean pretty much full speed on some bits.
Actually thinking about it, there never has been anyone come up behind us, but if there was we would get off the track pretty quickly.
