So, I apologize for this not being bike related, and also since most everyone on here doesnt know me, but i just found out I'm going to be a dad in 9 months..... Are there any other dads who had trouble finding riding time?

Post this in the Lounge, you'll get a boatload of advise.

CONGRATS!





And yes, at first the riding time will be hampered. Keep this in mind, but make sure you do make time for yourself. It's good for everyone.

i know someone else that had a kid about a year ago and he has had very little riding time. now he has another one on the way. now he will have just about no riding time.

Congrats! Scary as hell isn't it? (I'm going to be a dad in 6 months). From what I've seen some of my friends go through, it's give and take. Guarantee her the time to do what she likes in exchange for ride-time.

Congratulations!!!
I've got three of the things...your life will never be the same, but it's a good change. The fun part is teaching THEM to ride when they get to the age. My middle daughter wouldn't go without training wheels last spring -- end of the summer she was launching herself off a 1-foot ramp.
You just have to find balance. We goto Snoe Shoe -- they swim, I ride. It also helps that in most of Va. you don't have to travel very far to ride -- less time away from the family.
