There's a dad we see at the pumptrack sometimes on a Honzo. The basics are "I'm not into bikes at all, but my kid loves this, so I'm trying to learn too," which is a neat perspective. Also his kid rips, hah!
But yeah, I ts all about building things up to do it together (and eventually on his own); tools, working on bikes, riding, and all of it really. Its SUCH a pain in the ass to have him in the shed when I'm working on things, when he's trying to "help" and "NO LET ME DO IT BY 'SELF!!", but its an investment. It feels like a big investment sometimes, because things take 8x as long, but its also mostly funny and I'm happy to let him learn, fail, succeed, get frustrated, and help out when he asks for it. Lotta learnin' to do when you're two.
