Randomguy Posted August 9, 2014 Share #2 Posted August 9, 2014 I went about 13 miles or so, slow. I did press it on the slight uphill one of the laps, though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shotgun Posted August 9, 2014 Share #6 Posted August 9, 2014 I think it was about 2.2 miles. ...with the grandkids. A six and a half year old should not still be using training wheels! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted August 9, 2014 Share #7 Posted August 9, 2014 Keep up the good work, RR. It will be a bit. You had a bad injury. My riding was just a simple commute on the fat bike. Did a little sauntering around at lunch. Just a chill day. Today, is another matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie Posted August 9, 2014 Share #8 Posted August 9, 2014 I think it was about 2.2 miles. ...with the grandkids. A six and a half year old should not still be using training wheels! Ever! I am a huge fan of the method where you teach a kid sans training wheels by removing the pedals and using a gently sloping incline. I was lucky enough to have one of those gently sloping inclines right out in front of my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, he's too much of a wussy to try riding without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parr8hed Posted August 10, 2014 Share #10 Posted August 10, 2014 I'm a fan of raising the training wheels as high as possible. Tell them to work on not letting either side touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Former member Posted August 10, 2014 Share #11 Posted August 10, 2014 Put a helmet on the kid if he's a wuss, and walk along holding the seat for a few tries. Eventually stop walking, and watch the kid have his first bike wreck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how they are and I tried that. He doesn't even want to try it and just rides along with a gangster lean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't get on the bike without the training wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
