Interested here too :)

I'm after a 24" wheel one though.

Or a 16 for Ollie ;)

PS. I was also looking at the Blast for Charlie as an option. Haven't bid on any as yet though so don't worry, we haven't been competing ;)

Noah's first MTB at four. Apparently he has to ride it before I can upgrade bits :)

Not sure what Noah thinks but IMO it needs grips,new rim brakes (not disc ready :( ) , pedals and most importantly an Essex and Herts mtb sticker but missies has moved them
Then poss stem and bars

Brake levers are all scuffed do avid cable levers have reach adjust like hydraulic brakes ?
Thinking of tiny hands and grips will have to come off to do so so superstar size zero for little hands as lock on grips are essential :)

He's riding without stabilisers:) well worth getting a Carrera blast :). Chuffed
Right how do I get him to push off on his own ?
Right three year old is next then we will give mum a break by popping to Baddow pump track on sat mornings :)

Jumping in here, so apologies if you have already found a bike. But Online bikes in buckhurst hill has about 10 second hand ridgebacks out front of there shop.

Might be worth a call to see if they have a 16.

I got my son to learn starts on a slight down hill. He just dragged his feet until he had momentum and then lifted them up. Transition to push off was easier after that.

It's good to hear I am not the only dad that is soooo keen to see my son riding.

After a weekend of riding whilst camping near Little Baddow, I'll definitely get something nice and light for Ollie (age 5 and already on 16" wheels) :)
