    What do your kids ride?

    We've found DC shoes to be the best, price wise(always buy specials) and good sole pattern. When it comes to riding gear, nothing beats kmart/target stuff lol. Our kids get a choice of really good bikes, good safety gear and average riding gear or.... well they don't get that choice hahaha.

    Mud Guard & Manitou Fork

    The fork is one of these 'Manitou J-Unit 24'. Didn't come with mudguard, maybe because it's 24in. Maybe I'll ask if it's an option with the shop. I did think of punching new holes but was worried about crud coming through the old hole, guess I could tape over them. Thanks for the replies.

    Early retirement / FIRE

    Don't know about everyone else, but when the temp gets below 8 degrees and over 35 riding's not FUN anymore hahaha. We did a bit of a tree change about 2.5 yrs ago up to the Hunter Valley. Weather's pretty awesome although we could do with a bit more rain. The worse season here is summer but...

    Full face helmet for a little kid

    We had our kids in these Cratoni helmets from prob 1.5 yrs. This is the modern day version me thinks. They converted to a half shell, super light but you wouldn't what to hit a tree at 30kms with one ;) Had our boy in one pretty much 24/7, even when he was just walking around as he would try and...

    What do your kids ride?

    I never knew this. Maybe the they should look into the BMX race scene where kids are racing from the age of 3/4 on race bikes with only rear hand brake and until recently prob clipped in as well.

    Dishwasher

    We replaced a Miele with a Bosch 6 series with the stainless steel inside thingy last yr. Hasn't skipped a beat, really quiet. Like how the dishwashing tablet dispenses, has never stuffed up once. With the Miele, every now an again the tablet would get stuck in the dispenser and we'd have to do...

    - It dawns on you that the guy sitting next to you in the car going for a ride wasn't even born after you left college. o_O -When my 8 yr old tells me to be careful when I get on a bike, skateboard.. basically anything with wheels as it really stresses him out. -Having to get the kids to read...
