Embarassing moment as a father/cyclist

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Embarassing moment as a father/cyclist

My wife found our 2 year old son with my electric razor and his pants rolled up pretending to shave his legs.

I don't understand why that would be embarrassing for you...

You will love him just as he is, with all your heart and soul, even if he turns out to be...a road cyclist.

No, but seriously, that's adorable!

I think you mean proud, not embarrassing.

I'm sorry to hear your son went full roadie. That can't be easy for anyone to deal with. You have my sympathies. Remember, we are here for you

If you don't want him to become full roadie, word has it that if you buy him a full face MTB helmet it will reverse the effects
