    Got my daughter one of these last year when she was 2 1/2

    Shes now 3 1/2 and has got the hang of steering, pedalling and stopping (most of the time). She also shouts out bike shop every time we go past our lbs and told mummy that we always go to the bike shop on the way home from nursery (which isn't strickly speaking true, it's only about once a week). She's well and truly brain washed.
    It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

    I've bought a new bike....ouch - result
    Can I buy a new bike?...No - no result

    Ive looked at quite a few walkalong bikes for her, I fancied the wooden ones you can get, don't remember the make. but got told that the laminate comes off the wood, so gave them a miss.

    This spesh was in the LBS I got my EX9 from, this one seemed to be a little smaller than other ones i liiked at and also there was a 20% discount to be had! :lol:

    A lid and knee/elbow pads are on their way.

    Soon have her doing the marin trail, mighht have to tow her up hills tho and teach her how to to use her trainer as a brake on the back tyre to stop her :lol:
