My boy Caleb is growing up fast, seems like only just the other month I was hauling him around on the back of the Long Haul Trucker and Big Dummy, now he is riding my bikes with no problem.
The Bullitt needed just a slight lowering of the seat and handlebars for him to be comfortable and in the right position. He spent several afternoons after school riding it up and down our quiet rural street getting used to the steering and also the electric assist, something he hadn't ever experienced before. He did great and picked it up in no time and you could see his confidence building with each pass.
I think his aim is to be able to take it the 5 mile or so over the backroads to where he looks after several miniature Shetland Ponies. Great to see his confidence build and as he rides everywhere now, also to see his independence come on, not so sure about watching my Bullitt ride up the road away from me :)
