Your kids on bikes pics......

Our ride to the Sunderland Air show along the coast;

Starting near tyne ferry landing
(Being a plane already)

Red arrows spectacular!

Being shouted at by WW1 sgt major in a mock kids obstacle course at the BBC's WW1 display arena

"Dont you dare bleed on my barbed wire you horrible little soldier I'll have to fill in a form!"

Hilarious

Popped in to Decathlon today and oops! Saw something that no grown man with kids could possibly resist. After a quick bit of phone negotiation with Lady Skol my youngest lad is now the proud owner of a 45cm red Triban 3 for the give away price of only £199.99.

We then popped into Go Outdoors and spotted the awful pile of scrap metal that is the yellow Viking road bike they are trying to sell for £170 in a similar size. It just goes to show what a fantastic bike the Triban is.

So he should! He's only 8 and he has now got n+1 and the full Btwin kit to match (he already had this )

If he passes his 3 day bikeability and MTB course run by BC at the M/cr Velodrome, MCFC ground and Clayton Vale next week we will have to start racking up some road miles

Maybe I should have bought him this - http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/viking-race-pro-24-inch-p298609
It is TdF yellow and £30 less (but much, much cheaper!)

Young Master Skol has started his bikeability this morning. He is desperate to complete and pass the course because we haven't allowed him to ride his new bike until he does!

My lad did the course a few years back - it's good fun.

I know i posted this last week, but i am so proud of my 9 year old Grandaughter, riding 60 from London to Cambridge without any complaining.

Phew bet that was a struggle on the uphill parts Derrick ...Ive donated our trailer bike to the charity shop earlier this year as the lad was getting too heavy and tall.....he's 6.. A sad day as we had many a great ride together; now I'm a nervous wreck when we are riding on the roads with him now he's solo.

Was a really nice ride. we had so much support from other riders, looking forward to next year.

Little Samuel (5) has taken to his new geared bike very well, and it was taken with us on a family holiday in Alnmouth. I found a little route that he was able to tackle, down NCR 1 from Alnmouth to Warkworth Castle, accompanied by Mum and Dad.

He did have a crash on the way when he slipped off the edge of the path, but no damage done, and after a few minutes feeling sorry for himself, he was back on and away. There was also a small road section at the end, but it's quiet and he followed instructions well. He even got most of the way up the steepish hill at the end. Proud Mum, Dad and Uncle Mike

He's also very willing to call out obstructions

How tall is he ?
I have been looking after a geared bike for my lad but cant seem to find them about .He is 7 but looks more like 4-5 die to his health issues so even a 16" wheeled bike is to big for him .

The expensive option is an Islabike, could you look for a second hand one? Their bikes are smaller than the standard bikes meaning a child can go up a frame size sooner. My son who is on the smaller side though not really tiny for his age (currently 13 and I'm removing the age 10 trousers but expecting a growth spurt soon), couldn't fit onto his sisters bike that we already had and wasn't going to anytime soon, and it meant he couldn't keep up with the rest of us. So we went not expecting the bike to fit and discovered he could fit on their smaller frame.

This was a couple of weekends ago. A couple of pics after a massive downpour. The flood and the Team Car, and my lad out doing what's best with an MTB.
