Fun? Well, as long as he’s allowed to ride somewhere that has a big area.

First, teach him how to breathe. Then, teach him how to ride a bike.

Friends!? Does Calvin HAVE any friends?

Think about all the trouble you can get into with more mobility.

Besides, Calvin, your bike transforms into a spacecraft.

In no way do I relate to Calvin on this. A bike was my way of getting away from it all.

Calvin think of it as a sled on wheels, all you have to do is pedal it and off you go.

It might be worth considering getting Calvin a bike that isn’t taller than he is maybe?

Calvin, I’m gonna raise the bar on you: I learned to ride a MOTORCYCLE before I learned to ride a bicycle. Oh, the places I’ve been and the fun and adventures I’ve had! Celebrating 48 years in the saddle this month!

@Paul or “Space” That is the essence of riding in a nutshell. Ride on, brother!

Out with the bad air, in with the good air!

My uncle taught me to ride at 7 yo by putting me on a bike and pushing me down a hill. As I screamed that I didn’t know how to stop, he yelled “pedal backwards!” — I yelled “it won’t go backwards!!!” and crashed into a ditch.

@Thomas Linquist: But…… Calvin is only about 18 inches tall…

Calvin is such a wimp.

Just kidding. I’m more of a wimp than he is and I’m 20!

I think with Calvin you just tell him to pedal fast and give him a big push.LOL
