Kids First Bike/Balance Bike Suggestions Please
Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone can recommend the best first bike/balance bike for a 2 Year old. My son has a birthday coming up and I would like to get him one but not sure if he is too young.
I have been looking at the Avanti Lil Ripper and the JD Bug Trainer.
Any experience or suggestions? Brakes or no brakes?
Cheers
Matt

Mont 2010 training ride @ Terrey Hills/West Head
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Terrey Hills shops / Fire brigade car park
It's another "Team Big Test Icicles" training ride for the Mont 2010. (plus special guests)
Come along for a reasonably paced training ride starting with Centre track in reverse, moving on to Towlers Bay for some decents and climbs and scenery; and a bit of Salvation track on the way back.
This is open for all to join; come along to conquer the demons of Towler's Bay & "Dibbler's corner". 
Crash at Towler's Bay Track: Stu (Dibbler) in Hospital
Our good man and valuable Mont 24 hr team member Stu (Dibbler) had a bad crash during last Sunday's group training ride at Towler's bay track.
He landed hard and stacked after a water bar on an otherwise "easy" part of this firetrail that descends from West Head Road down to Pittwater.
He couldn't get up and had strong pains in his hip/leg. (He was later diagnosed with a fractured pelvis).
Petition to retain Old Bathurst Road and Nichols Pde (DH tracks in the Blue Mountains)
Hello
As brief intro I am Alan David and have been involved in some trail advocacy work with the Blue Mountains City Council where we are working toward legitimate trails in the Blue mountains area.
We are initially focused on two Downhill tracks at Old Bathurst Road (Blaxland) and Nichols Pde (Mt Riverview).
Council has taken the initiative to commission a report on feasibility by council employees (Bushland Management) who have been working with volunteers and a small group of representatives (myself included).
Take a Seat
Anyone watch the doco on ABC last night, "Take a Seat". Pretty interesting.
would be cool to do it in Australia.
Manly Dam update for 04 Mar
A few puddles around the top end of the golf course but not too bad. The bit of water has actually given the sandy areas a bit more traction. If the rain that is currently falling lightly gets any heavier and lasts for too long then I reckon it would put it in amber state pretty quickly.
Do you have more information?
If you've ridden here lately please add a more recent report. This will be useful even if the condition is the same as updates expire after 30 days.
Please do not post comments with such information - post a new update with the link above.

Wisemans Ferry ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Wisemans Ferry - by the East ferry crossing (turn right bottom of the hill). There is a good parking area by the kiosk here.
Wisemans Ferry ride. ie old North Road to the Buddhist Temple and back.
It is about 30km out and back and is a mildly technical ride. Great fun and spectacular terrain.
Help! Bent Rear Derailier Hanger
Hey everyone, i went for a ride a few days ago and went over a massive stick without realising :S In short i ended up with the chain guide thing behind a spoke in my wheel.
Now every time i go into first and second it absolutely chucks the chain. Can i just bend it back or will i make things worse?
Thanks
Jono
