Wow! I went for a ride with my older son (8) a couple of days ago. He was painstakingly slow (mainly just because of the size differential). We went a couple of miles and he wanted to go further, but it was getting dark. I've promised him I'll take him again this weekend. It was wonderful together time and I enjoyed it immensely, but it wasn't "riding" for me. I do know that that will come with time/growth/experience.

My youngest son (6) just got up without training wheels for the first time last night (big momentous occasion ). He wasn't really interested in trying until I told him I would never take him on my longer rides until he was out of training wheels. Amazing what a little motivation does.
