OK, a little change of pace from our usual posts.
I'd like to introduce you to the youngest member of the NorCal team - my son Nicholas, who, at 4 1/2 years just learned to ride his bike without training wheels.

He's signed up to do a triathlon in June (for kids). He'll be riding with us before you know it!

Congrats...You and He will never forget this day.
just around the same age for me, and I never forgot it!
The first day I rode a bike was really the day I was born.

Congrats...
My son was able to ride solo just last month and he is 6YO. Can I borrow him as my stoker for the tandem rally?

KILLER!!!!
I remember so clearly the day I had my Dad take of my training wheels. The feeling of finding that balance was....OHHHHHHHH!!!! It was so wonderful.
Congrats! Rock on!
Print this thread out and hand it over in 20 years.

That's great Alan. I can see it now ... climbing up Tunitas, and he just passes right by me as if I was standing still.
