OK, so technically it's a trike, but the smile on my boy's face when this was delivered earlier this week has given me a bigger new bike thrill than anything I've ever bought before 😀
Love it! 🙂
😀
splendid ben hur chariot akshun at the end ! - it's your civic duty to buy a second trike so the locals can stage races
Utterly, utterly SUPERB!
Just wonderful.
bikes are life
double like
If that doesn't show how it's all about the guy with the biggest smile, I don't know what does.
Fantastic 😀
Superb!!!!
That's brilliant to see! what a smile he had on his face.
Nice one !!
Absolutely incredible! Anything that brings smile and laughter like that to a child is worth it!!
Brill that mate, brought a tear to my eye.
Fantastic! Sweet mags!
Awesome.
Spot on.
If he's not picking your papers up from the corner shop by the end of next week I'll be surprised.
Trikes rock.
Cycling's for everyone.
My it's dusty in here.
Brilliant stuff.
Go James 8)
Absolutely fantastic. He'll sleep well tonight with all that pedalling. 
Just showed this to my wife, who is now in bits at the side of me on the sofa.
Fantastic.
Next time I'm peed off I shall watch that. Thank you.
That's great ......and he doesn't look at all bothered about the 26 v 29 debate .......
Took him down the Manifold trail this afternoon too. I'm pleased and proud to report he enjoys breaking off the tarmac and heading into the lumps and bumps we call "off-road". It's a fixie too, so his backwards riding is coming on a treat too. Happy days indeed.
and he doesn't look at all bothered about the 26 v 29 debate
😆
Brought a tear to my eyes, absolutely awesome.
Best smile I have seen in years, pure joy.
Brilliant.
Love it, reminds me of the joy i felt when i first learned to ride and then when i introduced my boys to the world of bikes.
Awesome 😀
That is without a doubt the BEST thing on YouTube ever, thank you for sharing such a great and personal vid... also a bit dusty in the vader house too. 8)
As a father that genuinely made me well up
Beautiful video, respect to you and your boy 8)
And in a few years...

Nice work OP 8)
Totally amazing, well done that lad.
Has better skills than me, bet I couldnt carry someone the same size as me
Top, top work.
Damn hayfever's making my eyes water...
Absolutely superb and what a smile.As you say...No stopping him now.. 😀
Wonderful. tr/bikes = joy
Dusty. Go on James!
Amazing stuff he looks well chuffed!
Great stuff OP ,thanks for sharing.
Rock on!
Brilliant that. What enjoying your bike is all about.
Think we have found the new niche.
Single speed, fat bike, belt drive, 29er, fixie, 650 blah, blah, blah.
3 small wheels are clearly the future of pure cycling enjoyment!
Can't remember the last time I rode my bike and it made me [b][u]THAT[/b][/u] happy.
That is awesome, OP! 😀
Definitely one of the most nichetastic rides on STW! 😉
brilliant. Just in case your in any doubt, I would say he likes it!!
Brilliant. All his Christmases have come at once. Thanks for sharing.
Riding a bike for the first time is the best feeling ever and one of life's great moments. Witnessing your child experience that joy must be amazing. Great clip, thanks for sharing.
My boys and I met a little boy on the same bike yesterday, he had a big smile on his face too. His grandparents weren't too happy at having to push him up the cobbley hill so he could whizz back down with my 2 though 🙂
Top stuff!!
Fabulous!
Pm on its way with a few questions. Main one being where did you get it?
Mrs and I just watched this together, excellent stuff!
Our 6 year old daughter has special needs and would probably be grinning just as much if we got her one of these. Can you post a link to the manufacturer / supplier?
Made my day... Warm fuzzy feelings all round 8)
Brilliant, touching and your boy has a fantastic giggle! Unashamed to say I have a tear in my eye... Great production too!
I am 6 foot 2 and 17 stone and crying like a baby!
Stunning stuff!
It's moments like this you realise actually how awesome life can be, especially when it has bikes in it 🙂
DrP
To those who were wondering where we got this bike from, it's a company called [url= http://www.theraplay.co.uk ]Theraplay[/url], but there are a handful of other companies too. There are many options for customisation so will appeal to most of you lot on here 🙂
The frame bolts together by hand and we bought an additional attachment to allow it to be used as a tag-a-long bike too. Calipers, pedal platforms, back supports etc are all optional extras. To any of you parents with disabled children thinking of spending some money on bikes, you'll be unsurprised by my recommendation to spend it on one of these 😀
[EDIT] Here's my original post asking for recommendations for trikes [url= http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/special-needs-trikes ]clicky[/url]
He's getting more joy from that than most of us miserable ****s manage, absolutely brilliant- top work James and Stilltortoise.
Wonderful!
Ha, that's ACE 😀 Check out the grin on that lads face 😀
That's wicked I want one,its also very nice to see your lad loving it
Just brilliant
Brightened up my Monday 😀
Heart warming Vid - is brilliant him giving a backy!
I'm a bit fat brute of a guy, and it suddenly got very dusty in here
Awesome 😀
This is why ST needs a "Like" button
I'm so SO pleased this has brought a big smile to the face of so many people. He's such an amazing lad and is never short of a smile and a laugh, but he did get a bit giddy when he got pedalling 😆
Brilliant 😀
The best thing posted on here in ages
High five to James the latest addition to the world of singlespeed godliness.
Cannot believe how much fun the lad is having on it. Top job by you Mr. Fatherman.
At the risk of repeating things
Superb
Brilliant
Bit dusty in here
etc 🙂
My Post of The Year So Far.

On tonight's ride James learnt that whilst riding a trike on two wheels is fun, those two wheels aren't guaranteed to return to solid ground 😳 🙂

Very moving that. Well done. 🙂

Laughing. Laughing HARD! Am sure James would understand! (At least, I hope he does...!)
But, once again, it's a little dusty here at Flash Towers!
It's that enjoyment that we all spend £000's on to try to recreate (well, I do!)
So lovely to see a kid having that much fun.
Top Dad-marks from me 😀
Now that is a happy smile 😀
Post of the year so far.
awesomes!
great! giving it the full beans at 20secs too. (made me laugh when his mate jumps on the back for a backie)
Awesome, may he have many adventures on his bike !
Best thing I've seen all day. And I've just come back from an EPIC Neil Young concert, so the trike vid is even more epic 😀
That's fantastic! Go James!
You should send Theraplay a link to your video so they can use it to replace the one on their page that doesn't work. 😉
