First ride out on the new (to us) Isla bike this morning. My daughter had been very happy on her Hotrock 20, but I couldn't believe just how naturally she took to the new one and was instantly more confident and climbing hills she had struggled with. A nice dad moment - and helped me justify the eye watering cost of a second hand child's bicycle.

She put her helmet on before we went out.

My neighbour's lass has one and she's very pleased with it.

Oh, and I'll be rebuilding the rotten lean to in the summer before anyone points it out. 😀

Sorry Bol. Put the comment because I was impressed with the boots, then withdrew it because I suddenly thought it might be viewed the wrong way.....but what the hell...nice boots madam.

Lovely 🙂

I bet they are like hens teeth at the moment with Islabike not having any in stock.

Nothing pink or dainty in this house.

Brilliant - nothing beats the new bike feeling!

My daughter lived and still spends a lot of time in dms - but she does moan at me for not teaching her how to walk in heels. Wouldn't be a problem except she models - something quite sweet about her looking uber glamorous but slightly like a baby gazelle taking its first steps 🙂

I wasn't sure how she'd get on with the flipped stem. I asked her if she'd prefer the bars higher, but she said it felt good with them low.
