April now wants a bike, so its begun

My son is 5 and wants a motorcycle. That clown needs to get out and learn how to ride a bicycle first. I can't even get him going.

He's starting to put forth some effort this season, though.

yeah april can't ride a bike yet either, lol

we did buy the boy a balance bicycle, a bike w/ no pedals. weather is getting good now, so he'll be riding prob. before april, lol

guy on local board has his 2.5y.o. on a PW50 w/ training wheels.

DOOO IT!!!!

PW50 is what Ben learned on. They're great! Especially with outriggers!

And you can always get your money out of it...once you kill the initial the resale value pretty much flatlines

A balance bike is exactly what my son has. He has had a bike with training wheels and a balance bike. He goes for the balance bike every time. I have even taken him trail riding on it.

My nephew has one and brought it trail riding with us this weekend.

I told my sister that once he gets good enough, I'll get him a 50. The kid may never learn to pedal!

My ex has my daughter both scared to death and nearly "prohibited" from getting on my motorcycle.

Shame, cause she's getting big enough I could ride her to school and just continue on my way to work. As it is now, I can't really ride to work on days after having her overnight or on days I'll be picking her up at school, which eliminates most of the week. It's absolutely pointless to take her to school in the car then return home to get the bike to go to work, so I just learn to live with it. At least I don't live very far from work.

RACER X · 03-07-2012, 07:38 AM

becuase he can balance doesn't mean he can ride a bicycle, lol

Cafe Husky has a few Husky bike and parts dealers that post regularly there. One of them was taking his daughter out on his quad. Part way into the ride, his daughter punches him and says "You get to do this every day!"

She's hooked now.
