My second little 
ditched the training wheels this evening. About a month before his 4th birthday. And you know what he said as he rode up the street away from me?
"Now we can *ALL* ride singletrack..........."

How do all you lot cope with having kids myself i dont have any but i have 3 younger brothers who drive me up the wall
no kids of my own yet, but i do have these two dogs. luckily they are bloodthirsty child-eating pitbull derived mutts. usually i feed them orphans, but my niece and nephew came to visit so I figured the dogs would feast on upper-middle class human veal.
BUT
as you can see in the photo the niece has got the dogs down and will soon devour them. i guess the moral of the story is keep the dogs hungry and feed the children.....

What do you mean "cope"? It's a joy having kids. Especially when they want to ride singletrack with you.ukjason said:

Our first test "ride." We went from our driveway to the driveway 3 houses down, and back. We need a helmet before going for real. 
We tried a helmet one time in one of those bike trailers - it bent the poor kid's head so far forward (he couldn't comfortably sit up straight with it on) that we pitched it and tightened down the straps a bit.BikeGeek said:Our first test "ride."

speaking of healing, otis got his cast off yesterday but his arm's still a bit bent/bowed.SkaredShtles said:Noted - but remember they're *much* younger than you are and heal *much* faster.
I've heard the same from others, but want to at least try before breaking out the bubble-wrap and duct tape.SkaredShtles said:We tried a helmet one time in one of those bike trailers - it bent the poor kid's head so far forward (he couldn't comfortably sit up straight with it on) that we pitched it and tightened down the straps a bit.

Children *will* fall out if you don't strap them in and roll the trailer taking a corner on a bike path too quickly.
Don't ask me how I know.......

BWAHAHAhahahahahahahhahahaha, I know it probably wasn't funny at the time bt the mental image is killing me. Crusin around town, taking the turn with a little one wheel motion, pimp. blammo, baby pancake.
I love this one. Thats the technique I use as well.SkaredShtles said:Check out this one. He's got the toungue and the eyes closed.
LOL! I've used this technique as welllaura said:
That's pretty much how it happened. Except both my older boys were in it. They tubled out and made a liddle kid tossed salad in the weeds beside the bike path. They were pretty much OK, but my wife was *not* amused when I got home.laura said:
This happened last week while the wife and I were in Vegas, and grandma was watching the kids. We got the call from my mom just as we were heading out for the evening. Last night as we were eating, Evy tells me, "No more jump on couch". Damn straight.SkaredShtles said:Resulted in trip #4 to the ER for us to get it scrubbed out.
Grandma took this the day before
ouch!!!
Yeah, especially when you're 800 miles away. My wife was a wreck until she was able to talk to Evy on the phone.ktmsx said:
Last night I took her to the hospital to have the stitches removed. That was NOT fun, but the ice cream afterwards made it all better.
just noticed this one of me and ryder on the racers edge site:
Tim, we should take the boys out on a trailer ride some weekend. mt vernon trail?

BikeGeek...I use the same trailer for my daughter. We tried a few helmets and found one that didn't have the pointy rear like most cycling helmets. Looks more like a skate lid. She's not all hunched over when riding in the trailer now. Pics are already in this thread.BikeGeek said:Our first test "ride." We went from our driveway to the driveway 3 houses down, and back.

My mechanic back at work.

My first two trips to the ER were results of screwing around near couches. First was a fall back into a book shelf (staples in the back of the head) and the next was a failed piggyback attempt back into the brick hearth on the fireplace. More staples. :nonono:
Sounds good.corey_dcstreet said:

Some newer pics of Syd (I can't believe I haven't posted any recently).
Playing in her Exersaucer:
She's moving all over the place with her walker and even tries to get her own toys out for us.

Piper at LL Bean this past weekend. She started Kindergarden yesterday and we were telling her this is how much homework she'd be getting.
