Each kid is different DieselDan.

I have an eight year old that enjoys riding single track mountain biking with me. First race was at seven with hand brakes.

I have a seven year old that pretty much only rides as a stoker on our tandem or on a TAB. Enjoys riding, just does not have urges to get out alone.

I have a four year old that just may learn to ride before the seven year old.

Blanket statements usually have alot of holes in them.
