Re: [RBW] Re: Pondering fatherhood

Fatherhood is pretty great, as far as I am concerned. My 3 year old daughter figured out the push bike this year. Last year she didn't want to try it - she was comfortable on her scooter, and we didn't push her. This year she was gung ho and blasting along after a couple of weeks. I find she doe

Re: [RBW] Re: Pondering fatherhood

It was great re-reading this thread and seeing everyone's advice and ideas for the OP. My daughter just turned two and I gave her a Strider bike for Christmas. She immediately hopped on and started moving. That lasted about 15 seconds. She loves her trailer and will (literally) ride for hours wi

Re: [RBW] Re: Pondering fatherhood

What Rene says is very true. My older (9 year old) son likes to point out that I like bikes, but he likes "sports." So we throw the football back and forth, and it's good. My younger son is all about bike camping, though! On Thu, Feb 11, 2016 at 4:22 PM, René Sterental wrote: > The great storie

Re: [RBW] Re: Pondering fatherhood

Rene, I've always taken the approach with my daughter to be a facilitator, not a teacher. Growing up fly fishing at the creek, we might not fish at all. Sometimes she would fish 10 minutes, sometimes none, sometime

Re: [RBW] Re: Pondering fatherhood

Congratulations on the new (forthcoming?) child. My daughter is one of the best things that happened to me, joy far outweighing grief. But be aware: daughters, at least my daughter, became less of a handful but a lot more expensive as she got older! I bought my now 14 1/2 year old daughter some pr

Re: [RBW] Re: Pondering fatherhood

The great stories of kids who have gone on to embrace the love of bikes (and other passions) from their parents are wonderful. However, IMO, one of the hardest things one has to do as a parent (two daughters in their 20s and a teenage son) is deal with the reality when one (or all) of your kids dev

Re: [RBW] Re: Pondering fatherhood

BTW, that shot with the Ibert was taken right after my non-drive side pedal snapped off! Equipment checks and a steady and aware riding style are extra important with precious cargo, but some things cannot be foreseen. Forgot to mention the Hooptie accessory for the Big Dummy, fantastic!

Re: [RBW] Re: Pondering fatherhood

Even before a trailer, I found a front mount baby carrier to be a great option, starting at year 1. Eventually moved on to rear carrier, trailer, strider bike, Big Dummy, Burley Piccolo, and his own two wheels. He is six now. All the systems are good at various times and for various applicati

Re: [RBW] Re: Pondering fatherhood

I means that your life is going to change in many ways, but for the better. As for biking, start looking for a trailer. I suggest a larger (100 pound capacity) Burley trailer. The baby won't ride in it right away, but you can the seat out and use it for cargo. You will be making many emergency
