He does want me to put a rack and fenders on it, I need to look and see what might be available. Has multiple eyelets at the rear dropouts, but up above, only a hole on the brake bridge. Maybe a Tubus Fly!

Hardy - People are amazed my daughters will ride 20-30 km in a day and even more amazed to find we don't spend much time using sidewalks but rather, use the bike paths, MUTs, and take routes down quiet streets.

Perhaps you need to tell the boy that you are going somewhere really fun and that if he wants to go he will have to ride down that hill... :D

I think that's the answer, next time he saves up change for another bionicle, he's riding there on his own, no trail-a-bike.

I'll be more than happy to pass the torch to any of my kids that can drop me... :)

But you'll have to keep up with them to pass the torch!:)

SAome great points, give him a reason, a sense of anticipation as to how exciting it will be. Motivation is a wonderful thing and SixtyFiver hit it right on.

Just had to add an update...

The littlest butterfly wants studded tyres on her bike... my oldest daughter thinks we're insane.
