This kid couldn't have been more than three years old. His bike was battery powered, and really moved fast. I would guess there are all kinds of laws against this in the US, but he sure was one happy kid.

    Some toys are not toys, they are capable of causing serious injury.
    These little bikes are a classic example.

    I like the Shot, the child does not look as young as you say, probably because of how he is dressed and the scale of the Bike.

    Looks like he really knows what he's doing :D
    Hopefully his parents closely supervise his riding.

    Great Shot Richard thumb.gif .... Skippy :D

    Thanks, Skippy. Yeah, one problem with that shot is that there's nothing in it to let you judge the scale. This should help:

    The other kid was on a normal toy that you push with your feet. Needless to say, he was dying of envy. rolleyes1.gif

    The kid's got all the right gear on EXCEPT for no gloves. That's a big nono, because if he falls, he can get some serious hand damage. :nono

    Nice shot!

    Good point, Joel. I'm guessing that the parents aren't the cautious sort. rolleyes1.gif

    Cute picture Richard, but Joel is so right...stupid parents not putting protective gloves on those soft baby hands!!! I'm not so sure one that young should be riding it even with the right gear. rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks, Susan. The first time I saw that little kid zipping around the plaza I thought the parents had to be insane. Gloves or no gloves, that's got to be dangerous. But hey, I just take the pics.

    In the US, as I am sure elsewhere, there are laws and then there is reallity.
    We don't see this on the paved streets locally but it is out there on the dirt tracks and mountain trails. Amazes me everytime I see the little ones allowed to put themselves at risk on fast machines. Still don't know what to think about it. On the one hand I am good with it. On the other where are his gloves? headscratch.gif
