Showing the old man how it's done.

Stop him! NOW! 
That (or something like that, in a slightly more crazy version, involving doing it in winter) was how "mimipips" http://minipips.blogspot.co.uk/ got started. And he's been dragging his dad round ever more crazy adventures ever since. Strathpuffer 24 solo aged 11 is the one I remember (they let him do it as long as his dad cycled with him).

More seriously, I hope mini postie has a lot of fun.

Friday=really enjoyed the downs link from shoreham to guildford a great day out with so much to see, cyclist cafe, old station's and a country park. Only downside was mini posties off, a straight tarmac bit in to guildford and his bike went from under him,
Shocked,then tears and a few cuts. Oh he was worried about his little finger and not the blood.  Seemed fine afterwards and was soon cycling again .

Train home and he decided we would get off a stop early and ride the long way home and could wait to show mum his war wounds.= 46.4miles.
