Women don't ride bikes.

I "started" on a quad at 4. Learned to ride a kx80 that summer. Been off an on 2 wheels ever since.

So, yes. I'm a firm believer in it. The "I wanna ride" Honda commercials always struck a chord with me because of this.

I've always supported whatever my kids want to do. It was my son's desire to go road racing. I've helped his decisions on which ways to go with it, but in the end I leave all decisions up to him. Right now he's half and half on still racing. So next year we'll just do what he wants to do. He's into loving guns now so we've been doing alot of shooting lately and he'll get his first handgun this Christmas. He's never lied to me, is a straight A student and is respectful, I have no reason to deny him what excites him as long as it's within my means. Life is meant to be lived.

My daughter is in dance and now wants to switch to gymnastics. Once she finishes out her season, I'll get her into gymnastics. I'll be on board with whatever she wants to do too.

These answers.

I will support my kid in whatever it wants to do (when I have one). There were so many things I wasnt allowed as a child, as much as I love my mother, I resent the things she kept from me. I wasnt even allowed to play soccer. She's less than thrilled about me riding. This is the woman who owned a motorcycle shop in her 20's.

My nephew started on a pocket bike at 10, at 12 we had him rolling around on his moms 250, and now, at 15 he is a sensational track addict. He hopes to race one day, and successfully finished a track day with me in October without crashing (his record aint so great, but they were minor). Does it make me nervous as hell? Yes. I love the lil fart to death, but the joy on his face after we chase each other around the track is simply priceless.

I would love to give my ( future) kids dirt bikes like I had as a kid ( a honda ct70) As far as a road bike, it would depend 100% on the kid, honest? level headed? daredevil? etc. I've seen what happens when you take chances..
