Great story.
Hope he gets another ride w/Gramps...
Took the grandson (7 years old) on his first ride yesterday. We went to take vegs. to aunt and as we walked out the door he said, "wish we could go on your bike". I looked at him and said, "why not, lets do it". We went to the shop and got him a helmet and I put the headset on him and the helmet and we headed the 1/4 mile to the anut's house. Dropped off the veges and headed back to the house. When we got to the stop sign he said, go fast to the house. So, instead of crossing the road to the house I took a left turn and he said, "where we going?" I asked didn't he say go fast, so we are going fast. We rode about 10 miles and when we got home he ran to the house to tell grandmother what we did. He told her that we rode a long way and I told him to wait, next time I go to Alexandria (about 50 miles) he could go with me. He bout fell out. I think I have him hooked.

Grandkids are the greatest! I envy you having him as a riding buddy. Our oldest grandson is off to college this fall; the next oldest is 4, so it'll be a few more years until I have another as a side-kick. Enjoy!

Only one thing to say ......... "Grandkids are the reward for NOT killing your teenagers"
I love mine 'to the moon and back'.
... Made the journey (from 2 to 3 wheels) now enjoying the ride ...

My granddaughter rides with me every chance she gets; photo is during Bike Week this year where she did two days, Destination, Speedway, Main Street, and the Iron Horse. She'll be four next month. We made a safety harness using the gear from a child's car seat which stays on the bike full time.

My grandkids love to get rides on my trike also. Unfortunately I'm not getting any miles on it personally this summer for health reasons but my son's have stepped up and taken my grandkids for rides on it when they come to visit. One exception is I now have a grandson with a motorcycle endorsement on his license so he has taken it out on his own. Makes me feel a bit old. He says it's not for him though as he's been racing motocross competitively since he was 5 years old and seems to like the action of those bikes better.
