I started going on the back of bikes at about 6-7 years old and I had a great life. Many weekend ere spent at bike rallies and events with mum, dad and extended biking famillies. I always had decent gear and was well aware of the danger but my dad rode sensibly and in control. I spent many journey's fast asleep tucked safely bewteen dad and the top box with him nudging me when i headbutted him in the back when he braked. Kids are put at risk every day of their lives and getting them out and about in a controled manner will help them with confidence and if they ever get into bikes themselves it's always good for the extra experience. |
