Folding Bikes - Tikit to Tri

My 12 yo son will be taking part in the OSIM Triathalon tomorrow on the tikit - kids category. It will be interesting to see how he does against all those bigger wheel bikes. Pretty much stock. He did it on a Speed Pro last year at 31.48 for 10km. Stay tune. Cheer for #378!

Fantastic. Great to see kids doing this kind of thing. I admire triathlete competitors at any level. Bike close-ups look great and wish him luck!

Best of luck! Great to get them started early!!!

My 4 yr old was in a tri last month. 25 yard swim, 1 mile ride, 1/4 mile run. He did everything perfectly! It was sooo much fun to see his little determined face during the events.

good luck to your son! i wish i could ride a tikit even if i had to do a triathlon just to ride it! :)

Just an update on the OSIM Tri and the Bike Friday tikit. It was the only folder in the 10-12 yo kids race and it came in top 30% among other full size bikes - tri, roadies, mtbs etc. Jem reported that some of the riders who he overtook were shocked, and perhaps even slightly embarrassed by the sight of a "circus" bike passing them by.

What was even more interesting is that he used a 24 Speed Dahon Speed Pro last year and did 31:48 for 10km. This year on the tikit, he did 30:15. No doubt he may have grown a bit more this year, but it speaks volumes about this little 16" commuter bike.

Bicycles that fly? Well, nearly...

He's lucky to have taken after his Mom in that department :D!

His massive calfs came from Dad though:thumb:
