like daddit for the fediverse but we all eat pizza with ranch and say "ope" a lot. all dads and non-dads are welcome. ranch on pizza is recommended but not required. ope is mandatory.

Trying out Loops for the first time. Thought this video was a good one.

I bought a kick scooter to accompany them when they went on their first trips on sidewalks - it gives you the right speed, manoeuvrability and height to grab them the moment they steer into cars or traffic or other people walking by. On your own bike you are too high and too far away to intervene fast enough.

When they get bigger and can tour with you it's very, very nice - they can go much farther than one might anticipate. Pack enough food - cycling drains energy fast. Have fun :)

I'm still nervous about letting her ride near street traffic, so that is good advice.
