The weather was bad with us today as well, so my son and I put on some warm clothes and went out to the street outside our house. He was on his bike with stabilisers (he is four), and I was on my Muni. It wasn’t much, but we had good fun racing up and down for half an hour.
OK so down here in the namby-pamby south it may not be quite as cold as where you are, but we had some pretty blustery winds, sleet, rain and hail today with the odd spell of sunshine to lull you into a false sense of security.
Like Innes, I was out front in the street with my son (on his Green Machine) and me on my uni. Only problem for me is I still have the rubbish plastic pedals on my cheapo uni, and as soon as they get a little damp my feet slip off all the time. So I practised freemounting my nice new 29" (with the little aluminium pegs on the pedals) for a while. Approx attempt to nailing it ratio = 56:1
My son Joe (9) was then trying to ride my uni with a shorter seat stem. I’m not helping him any more, as it looks dangerously like he’ll be better than me by tomorrow…
thanks guys. I’ll have to get out, no matter what the weather this coming weekend
As for the coasting… Its not really coming on. I only practice at the club on thursday, of which ive missed the last 2. I’m still practicing though. Think I’ll give it more attention.
