Something sweet to warm the heart...

[Boris Bajic]

I've been clearing the back hall for decorating and I just found a tiny, tiny, tiny cycling glove.

White leather palm and blue, shiny nylon back. Just the tiniest thing. I think it would be too tight for our cat's paws. Tiny, tiny, tiny and therefore disarmingly cute.

I can scarcely believe that any of our children (now 14, 17 and 19) ever wore such a thing - but they all did.

I have no strong views on the helmet debate, but this is my thinking on gloves:

Buy tiny cycling gloves for very young (cycling) children. Then carefully lose them so you make yourself ridiculously nostalgic and happy when you find one years later.

Thank you, carry on.

We have one of those somewhere.

Ah! Sweet! I will never forget the day Gti Junior rode his bike for the first time without stabilisers; it was on a beach on Orkney.

i can still remember my daughter doing her first 10 yards with no stabilisers

ah that wonderfully wobbly moment they make their first few yards without stabilizers.
