Yeah, they're great, I got some for my friends' kids. Gets them used to balancing on two wheels so they've already got that sorted once you get them one with pedals or an engine.

Stabilisers/trikes are really a backward way to start kids riding, it's not the pedalling that's the trick to it.

They really improve mobility and balance in general too, not just bike riding skills.

Yep they're a much better way to teach kids than training wheels, wish they'd been more popular when I was a kid. :v:

At the end of the video he'd graduated to a pedal bike and was taking the course easily. Great little rider.

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


Incoming photo dump. Went to The museum at N.H. Motor Speedway and may AI things.

Not gonna lie, I expected burnouts or whatever, then I expected something exceedingly Boomerish. Great to be disappointed on both counts.

They straight up touched the front lip to the wall to leave space for other people coming by. It wasn't even that tight a squeeze for us coming in in a Civic. I only even noticed the parking because I was checking out the car.

This is a Bad Post because I didn't get a picture, but last week as I was walking down the sidewalk, a car going by caught my eye. I didn't get a good look at it but at the time I thought it was a Lotus Evora, and I thought "Huh, neat. Not sure I've ever seen one of those in real life."

Yesterday, I thought of it again, and looked up what an Evora actually looks like. Turns out, it probably wasn't an Evora, but might've been a Tesla Roadster. Wish I had gotten a better look at it, I'm not certain I've seen one of those ever, at the very least it's been several years.
