I think this bike might be just a little to big for me.
Nice hip rotation but I think pedal power might be a bit limited.
Thanks for the save.
Nice “Superman” position!! Talk about tiny frontal area!
Seat’s too high.
That’s the shiniest floor I’ve ever seen. Do you eat off of it?
If I knew Francois better, I’d accuse him of being on too big of a bike. But I don’t, so I won’t.
Here is a good article from the Seattle times.

Trevor Johnston just completed his first triathlon. He’s 6.
When his mother, Ingrid Johnston, of Woodinville, began competing in triathlons last year, Trevor thought it looked like fun and asked if he could “tri,” too.
“He was taking swimming lessons this year and he swam a lot, telling us he was getting ready to do a triathlon,” Johnston said.
She turned the training into fun. They biked to the dog park, they walked places together.
The fun paid off. Trevor, with his mom at his side, finished the My First Triathlon at Lake Chelan in two hours, 19 minutes and 34 seconds. The triathlon consisted of a ¼-mile swim, 12-mile bike ride and a three-mile walk instead of the longer, more challenging Ironman version.
This wasn’t a kids’ event but an adult athletic competition. Trevor was proud not to come in last.
“We walked, we skipped, we hopped, we looked at ducks on the water,” Johnston said. “We stopped and picked flowers, too.”
Trevor, who will start first grade at Wellington Elementary School in Woodinville this fall, wants to do another triathlon next year with his mom and dad, Scott Johnston.
I like how he stopped to pick flowers.
My favorite part “Trevor was proud not to come in last”
So a 6 year old peeped ducks, picked flowers, skipped, and still beat people.
