Mac-riding with my first dropped off when he was three as his sister arrived and I haven't been doing it as much with her because we do most things together. we did a couple of family Mac rides last summer when they were 2 and 4 but my son, while within the weight limit is really too tall and it's pretty awkward. He was late to get the run bike and went through a phase of loving it when we were mac riding more, he even got into the pump track but his interest has waned. We don't have a real pump track near our house so that doesn't help. I have a 2004 Mountain Cycle hardtail I've been meaning to slap together as dirt jumper. It will cost almost nothing and weigh a ton but will hopefully be fun when we do to some of the local dirt pump tracks. My son is 5 and still not interested in pedaling. He's not a risk-taker and I'm not pushing him. He'll never be one of "those" kids, I'm still happy to walk with them (3 and 5) now as they ride their run bikes to the mini pump track or the playground.
