Smug dad

[Andy_R]

So, small boy (Jacob aged 7) has decide he wants to improve his personal best. His PB is 27miles around Kielder Water, with various ups and downs some of which left local cyclists walking! What is his interest now? a 40 mile there and back climbing 1200 feet. Am I smug...yes. Am I proud of him....hell yes!

And so you should be. He can out-ride the majority of the population.

What's he doing it on?

Indeedy!

EDIT: I'll add, not really a great lover of kids, tend to find them a little irritating (blush) but it does warm the soul to see them out riding bikes!

His pride and joy is his Islabikes Beinn 24 (which he has asked to have a pannier rack fitted to!)

He's only 7 and his PB is better than mine!

Thats great my little girl is eight and she loves cycling, it is so nice to see them come on. Nowt wrong with being a smug dad.

She always gets a smile from other cyclists when they ride past us, what with her on her 22" road bike.

Tis good.

Oooof..

Shouldn't mention this, perhaps, but...

...the neighbours 5 year-old came off yesterday. Face-planted, and broke two teeth!! Five hours spent at A+E and the emergency dentists!

He rides the 500m each way to the kindergarten, with his mum or dad, and little brother, in tow.

Today, he's absolutely fine. Mouth a bit mashed up, and chipped milk-teeth. But emotionally absolutely fine.

Good kid.

Ditto
I get that warm fuzzy feeling every time I watch my 7yr old fly up a hill that leaves me puffing & panting

They're the dogs danglies! So light, and without any of the stupidly useless "extras" that seem to adorn kids bikes nowadays.

We've got one already: it goes by the name of The Crank Arms, where the CC juveniles like to play.
