    This should be a sticky. We've taught about 40 kids to ride by this method this year, inc. 2/4 last Sat.

    Trouble is we are now surrounded by ankle biters on bikes :wink: Still, teaching them through and off for a couple of hours should reduce their enthusiasm. They can then return in about 11/12 years time when we'll introduce them to the joys of the 150 mile club run.

    That'll learn 'em.
