Fully loaded, I can get 4 bikes on carriers on the roof of my car. So, for us all to go on a ride together, Little W's goes in the boot.
On Tuesday we went to Ickworth Park again - this time to do the advertised "Family cycle ride", which turns out to be pretty much where we walked before. And not all on a proper road/cycleway surface...
Now, as you may be able to see from the picture, Little W is still using stabilisers. No problem on a proper level surface, like at the start and end of the ride, but once we got onto the footpath it was a little more tricky...
Naturally he aimed his front wheel down the centre of the path, which was a little rutted in places. So, every few yards, he would grind to a halt even though pedalling furiously - his stabilisers were lifting his rear wheel off the ground. It was funny, but he did get a bit fed up with it. "I don't want to go on the bike anymore", he said, and left me to carry it for the last 200 yds back to the metalled surface.
Hmm. Must bear that in mind for our next all-family biking expedition!
