im not a father, but if i was a dad then as soon as i see him learning to walk i've got to buy him/her a monty 202 pushbike, or a Joey, or an early learner.... get them involved nice and early, im sure if you get your other half a bike of some sort then there's always opportunity for a family day out, quality. but before all that happens i guess you just need to commit to looking after your kid, any spare time then go ahead and play, but im sure most people on the forum wouldn't put trials before any of their family members. good luck fathering anyway steve
