Aww thats fab! How old is the wee one?

She's actually 13 but I was always way too cautious, maturity and that. Its funny cos I was thinking about asking people in the know thought what age a child was ok on a bike cos I wasn't very sure. but its done now and it was cool.(thank god)

My daughter is almost 9 and way scared of the bikes. The wee guy at 4 would happily ride pillion if his feet reached the pegs!

my 4 yo daughter is desperate for a shoot on the bikes... she's too short though.

I'd say it's not the age you need to consider, it's more down to their ability to do as you tell them. It's not a game after all.


But if they're sensible about it, then let them on now and again.

There's no way I'd take my small person on my bike just now - never taken a pillion before for one thing, I think she'd be grand though, OH could take her on my bike. Course that might all change when the new race 'zorst goes on my bike.

I'd find it really hard to consider taking my hypothetical child out on the back of my bike. Personally it'd be a risk not worth taking in my eyes until they're around the age of 12 or 13, where they actually start to listen to what you say.
