Their Very First Bicycles
Child, Preschool, Toddler, Videos July 24th, 20082+ years ago, we exchanged our petrol points for a mini bicycle for my (then) 2+ year old Keatkeat. That was his first bicycle, but it was NOT BOUGHT by his parents, it felt more like a free gift from Esso-Mobil Petrol Station. But that bike was long gone…*sigh* can’t expect much on its durability, it was a FREE item, afterall!
But not today! Today, Papa bought 2 16inch bicycles for the 2 of them! They were over the moon, or rather over the sun, ‘cos we went to the bicycle shop right after Keatkeat was off from school at 12pm!
Here they are, testing the bikes infront of the bicycle shop. Though many alterations were done, they displayed commendable patience! Alterations like, lowering the seats, changing the bells from a index-finger-controlled to a thumb-controlled, adjusting the brakes so that they are ‘more reachable’ for their short fingers and finally balancing the guiding wheels at the back.
My phone’s video quality is lousy, but I still want to capture this moment….some people use ‘Face-blurring’ technology on purpose, but mine was AUTO-Blurred by my phone and there’s NO WAY I could de-activate the function *BIG LAUGH*.
Warning! It was really windy today, so I suggest you swtich off your speakers in case you get irritated by the sound of the breeze.
So after 1hour of cycling, what was their response? Thumbs Up!
The following video was taken in 2006 April when Keatkeat was on that ‘free bike’…(WARNING! Back in 2006, the video quality of my ex-phone was even worse!) …funny Binbin was still waddling like a duck!

hahaha…like the way you put it across on the face-blurring part…LOL…
Wow, even Binbin can ride so well! That’s the best part of going to a proper Bicycle shop to buy instead of the shopping centre, they adjust everything to suit your little one’s.

Those boys are incredibly adorable! So, so cute. What big boys with their big boy bikes! Can’t wait until my girl and boy have bikes with training wheels.

your kids are gonna have so many happy moments on those bikes! I remember looking forward to all my biking excursions when I was young, never mind the scrapes and bruises initially.

the kids must be so so so happy. Getting a bike for Mal is way up in my priority list but they are so damn expensive here! Will eventually get one for him but meanwhile, I am glad that he has his roller scooter.
July 25th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
Awwwww!That’s so cute!I love the videos!
If I had where to put the bikes I’d buy 3 for my kids…
Hey!Tkx for your kind words!
Have a great day!

Sis, a piece of advise. My youngest son, who, i bought a bicycle with a balancer when he was 4 years old, crushed his elbow because of that. He was driving it with a passenger, behind him who insisted to hitch although it was not safe, when they pass thru a hump. The fall over and he crushed his elbow. Watch out for your kid.
