A skill that has to be learnt - my son never wanted to get on a bike as a child even though he always had one he never ever swung a leg over one until he was 18. He now at 20 wishes he had, he's been out around clumber park with me and hated every minute of it.

There's riding a bike and riding a bike, hubbys party trick is riding on the rollers on his fixed no handed !

I have tried to tie them behind his back but to no avail so far.

You should. It is a very tranquil pastime. There are all sorts of snazzy accessories, nowadays, as well.

Not much point, you'll only get it stuck in the blade of a wind turbine

Might be here, along with sandbags and great big handles, and a little cart so the kite can pull you down the road. I seem to remember a store in Southern California someplace that just sold kites.

Whenever we got ours out as kids we spent ages untangling the string, jumping in the air trying to get it to fly, then picking it up after a nosedive. It never seemed like fun to me.

My father and I made a box-kite and flew it very high, then the string broke and it crashed into a busy rail yard, smashing to bits against a New York Central box car.

I hope your Father did the adult thing and told you to " RUN FOR IT "
