No just the videos bwilli88 posted and thank you for them bwilli88 and Tamiya.

Are these on YouTube?

If so that would be great as I could tell my daughter an she could then look them up in France.

I'm sure the girls will go wild over them.

Cool thread. 👍 I seem to have a little kid magnet turned on lately. Just yesterday, a little girl rode a similar bike past me, as I was taking a breather on a park bench. She got excited when she saw my bike, and started laughing and waving to me. I guess she thought we were in the same club, lol. 😁

Besides that, a few different young kids have been waving at me, like they think they know me or something. It’s pretty cool, I like kids just fine, but I worry about people thinking I’m a perve or something. 🙄🤔😉

Always wave back and give encouragement as you ride by, also to the tired parents that have taken the time to go out with them.

A "Good Job Mom/Dad or both" can go a long way.

We are a small part of those using the trail system, all we can do to leave a good thought about bike riders is always a good thing. So don't fear, make people smile when they see a bike rider.

When we ride our tandem it's almost like we're a float in a parade as we wave at children and adults as we ride past and we wave back.

Yep, I always look for a parent or older sibling, to at least make eye contact & smile, and things go much better. 👍When you don’t see a parent, that’s when you have to be careful. It’s easy for someone who doesn’t know you, the “stranger”, to make wrong assumptions. Especially in bigger cities.

But back on topic, there’s nothing like seeing that pure joy, on a young kid’s face, when they get to ride in the park with the big people. 😎
