Miss Smoo is now a cyclist, #prouddaddy :)

I have to admit I've been putting this off as much as Miss Smoo has never really been bothered about it either, but today out of the blue she announced she wanted the stabilizers off and she wanted to go on the field so she could learn to ride her bike

So I whipped them off and off we went to the field. I have to admit I was nervous that if she had one bad fall the drama queen would win out and that would be that, but, after a couple of runs of being supported, then a couple of rolls down a short slope, all of sudden off she went, just like that

Absofreakinlutely chuffed to bits I am. Anyhoo I'm telling anyone who'll listen, and here's some footage for anyone who fancies it. I couldn't easily work out how to edit it, so if you just want the eureka moment then skip to 3:00 minutes in.

Oh and by the way, please ignore the tall fat Peter Kay impersonator in the Beatles t-shirt, not sure how he was

Yup, it's definitely too small that bike. Time to put the feelers out.

Fields are a good place to start. My son was a bit slow but got it fast once we did the field. Daughter did not get it that way.

Great result

Another contender for post of the year.

Well done Miss Smoo

Nice one Molly despite the bike being a bit naff - a Cannondale no doubt.

Doggy felt a bit left out - he can't half shift.!

Excellent! The right number of riders in any family is R+1

Congratulations, that really was a"Eureka moment" as it all just clicked in.

However part of your post worried me:

.......but today out of the blue she announced she wanted........

In a short while I can see the post:

Today out of the blue she announced she wanted.....

Good for her but fancy making the kid ride a bike for a 3 year old.

Very nice . Definitely a highlight in any person's life. I vividly recall the moment I first rode a bike, even though it was a little while ago . The moral support from doggie was a nice touch.

I cheered when she got it, well done Molly.
