Arrive in a car - you have Pressies.

Arrive on a bike...you want food.

This is my take on it as a Male with a similar situation several years ago...old people and their Marbles.

Forgive my slowness..
I have grand daughters that come to greet me when I visit them but then don't recognise me in all my leathers and on a motorbike, so they are hestitant to come and give me a big hug.
But if I arrive in the car, all is recognisable and they will run out to do the big welcome.

Its surprising that you find that surprising!!

[Ratti]

Do the bike thing more often and they will get used to it quicker.
Im not a Nana yet, in my house tho it's the cats who freak and hide when Im creaking around in my riding gear.

It was the same with my dog - she was so scared of the noise and the helmets - now that she is used to it, she is fine. Not saying the kiddies are dogs, but you know what I mean :niceone: You will have to practice, and they will eventually lose the fear.

It was the same with my dog - she was so scared of the noise and the helmets - now that she is used to it, she is fine. Not saying the kiddies are dogs, but you know what I mean :niceone: You will have to practice, and they will eventually lose the fear.

Nah. Exactly the opposite. When the grandkids were very young they thought that all motorbikes might be their Nan or Grandad.

[SHELRACING]

My grandkids (3 + 1mth old and another one due10th jan) just love the bikes. I took my eldest for a ride when she was 18mths old. Every time I turn up on the bike they are scrambling to get on. Even the three year old loves bikes. We have race quads as well and the kids love those even more.

My eldest (10) is learning to ride the farm trike now. She can also ride a pocketbike and they have a mini dirt bike as well. 3 yr old trys anything. The middle boy is not too fussed on the two wheeled bikes, but thats ok, he loves the quads.

Turn up with a helmet that they can play on pedal bikes with. Thats a good start.

Family appear to have become used to it - but I notice the occassional passer by looks slightly apprehensive when I remove my helmet. Must be just the helmet hair . . .
