Your kids on bikes pics......

I can only think he must be a small for age @cyberknight. I just bought this for my eight year old and it's perfect for him, 24" wheels. Maybe a step through frame helps.

@Justinslow, that looks about the right size for him, I'd even say the saddle needs to come up a bit. The leg needs to be more or less straight sitting on the saddle with the foot on the pedal a six o'clock. As you say the reach can be a problem, try pushing the saddle as far forward as it will go on the rails. Well done him.

Thanks, yes saddle is as far forward as possible and "span" adjusters wound in to get the levers closer, and bars rotated up a little to get the hoods a bit closer. The saddle is as far down as it will go, here's another couple of pics.

Master Tin Pot coming out of T1!

Have to admit he suffered quite a bit, but so happy to have another triathlete in the family.

Miss Tin Pot is signing up for next year already

Placeholder for two girls on Christmas bikes. Am I allowed, though, seeing as Drama Queen's one is an adult bike? Not the smallest size, either.

I've had a long but productive day picking them up. Worth it, though. Saved a packet.

[The Rover]

Another trip to feed the ducks, had a nice couple of hours out and stopped at the in laws on the way back for a brew/cake! I know he looks way too big for that bike ( the orange one! ) but it's my mob phone camera playing tricks.

 

[Sixmile]

My two testing out some of my lighting options for the darker commutes. On the left, See Sense (that's the light, not the child) and the right my new Light & Motion 650 thanks to the 'found a bargain' section. They loved the novelty of riding around the garden and drive in the dark.

Clearing out mother in law's house as she's had to go into a care home I found her box of photos.

More fun than a cosy coupe. November 1998.
