It must be genetic...

[Graeme Dods]

I finally got round to fixing the pedals on my 3 yr old son's plastic
trike yesterday (took about 10 seconds, but getting round to buying
the lock washers took weeks). So rather than trundling around the back
garden, he shouted "Come on daddy!" and headed off through the front
gate. When I asked where he was going he told me "We're going to a
cafe!" and shot off down the (thankfully quiet) road.

He's never heard me talk about cycling to a cafe, so I can only assume
it's an inherited trait. Does anyone know if they do lycra gear in 3yr
old sizes? I reckon I can convert his old sandals to SPD without too
much problem :-)

More like your wife's coaching, than genetic. Graeme says: just going
for a 60 km ride darling. Heads out door. Wife mutters: I'll bet -
just riding to the cafe more likely. Kid hears. Kid repeats.

Good theory, but you can't be certain until he asks for a skinny latte when
he gets there.

Nah, he's more of a babycino type kid :-)

Hah, I wish! :-) With my current commitments the days of decent rides
seem a distant memory. All of my present bike trips seem to be to
Bunnings or the supermarket and they're both only about 1km away.
Still, Thomas loves being given the job of looking after the shopping
in his trailer and feeding the ducks on the way home.
