@ssamulczyk@cycling@rower Had a similar experience with both of our kids who wanted to earn their Eagle rank in Scouting. The cycling merit badge was the obvious choice w/ a cycling dad: 100 miles of shakedown rides culminating in a 50-mile ride. So many joyful memories for Dad plus life experience & perspective that both son & daughter talk about years later.
@rekiwi That sounds dope! I wish my kids were so eager for cycling! I’m trying to show them it’s an adventure, but age is their limit for now (7, 5 and 0,5). I’m a gravel converted roadie, doing half of the yearly distance at night, so I hope one day they will go out with me instead going to bed…😂 We will eventually get there! @cycling@rower
My 8 & 11yo boys race track cycling during summer. The local club charge $A5 (=€3/$US3) per session which includes use of a track bike and about 3 races over the course of 2 hours.
Emphasis on fun. They both get up early every Sunday and prepare their own bags so we get there on time.
@ssamulczyk@cycling@rower peeling a banana: sometimes kids have to learn the hard way… actually all the time, every time. So glad to hear 2-wheel adventures were such a success.
@rekiwi Oh, that's for sure. Sometimes, if their ears don't work, something's gonna hurt. I'm all about letting them have that teachable moment...😅 @cycling@rower
