The wheels on the bike...

We hopped over to East Coast Park some time ago, to give cycling as a family of four a go.

We were planning on going on two adult bikes with child seats initially, but Christian insisted on his own little bike instead, so, of course we catered to his every whim and fancy :P

Lovin' it!

So, we rented a little bike and an adult one with the child seat - so Ewan and I could take turns going on the big bike and watching Christian.

And we had a blast!

Christian wasn't going too fast, so the, ahem, accompanying parent had to keep pace with him (walking of course).

But Connor was nonplussed about going fast - in fact he loved it, and shrieked away merrily. He also loved it when he looked up and saw our faces looking back down on him.

And away we go!

After a while, Christian sort of realised he was getting the shorter end of the stick, and wanted to have a go on the child seat on the large bike.

It was hilarious because he actually changed his mind at the last minute and was starting to yell "No, no, no, noooo!" but daddy had already taken off. He then realised that it was pretty AWESOME and changed his tune altogether.

So, now he's realised that how shiok it is to be ferried around, we're planning to go again, this time with two adult bikes and child seats. Looking forward!
