The 3 wheels

I have been looking out in the park and there are more children on the metal 2 wheelers

But 6 is still quite young to be influenced by peer pressure and the shift to a larger 3 wheeler would certainly be less than the 2 wheeler

Someone might pipe up with a 6 year old to say what suits them ...

Davster - my 3.5 yr old tried the micro rocket out a couple of weeks ago - he really wanted it and actually rode on it ok, but we eventually got the maxi micro as I thought he really was a bit young for it (and he was handing his mini micro down to his brother - I didn't want him reclaiming it because the 2 wheeled version was too advanced!).
Mine grew out of their three wheel micros and maxi before 6 years. AT 9 and 6 they are perfectly happy with their two wheelers. One is a cheap metal type with Olympic branding and the other is a more durable Razor with bigger wheels. Important to get them with "gel" wheels otherwise I think they can be a bit jarring and therefore tiring. One good thing is that they fold easily and I can get them on the bus without bashing passengers' ankles. I'm thinking of getting a Razor for myself so that I can keep up with them as they scoot down the hill to school.

    • I'm thinking of going to India at Christmas and it's been 18 years since I last visited. So long ago, I can hardly remember where I went (I was there for 8 weeks...). Has anyone been to the South recently? I'm thinking Kerala, as we fancy some beach action. 
    • If it's not bolted down it gets stolen, terrible. Some people have no respect for others property.  Hope you reported it to the Police and got a crime reference number, what did they say? 
    • Try pavement, this is London, not the US. The Mayor increased his proportion of council tax in 2025/26 to pay for "more" haha PC's but my understanding is they were cut not increased. A rouse by the Mayor to take more and give nothing in return.  Troubling and far too common here.  Just be careful where you get it out
    • Just saw one of them on lordship lane scanning the area on the sidewalks in a hood and mask on an e-bike.  I just pointed at them pretending that I was on the phone with the cops and he darted away.  Absolute scum. Hard problem to solve. I'm hopeful there are strategies in place to keep our community safe for this but it's troubling.
