[QUOTE="CDA, post: 50129, member: 103"] Props to you for stepping in on these two precious kids that your wife has. Totally cool that you are giving him a bike and starting that relationship and you will have a great riding partner. I know, I did that same thing with my son. He was 18 months old when he walked into my life and he is the best riding partner I have (I can't wait for him to come home soon so we can ride again). Word of caution, I know it blows that you are dealing with a dad that will not do anything for him until you come along, but do not try and compete against him. This is his father and a few things can happen. 1. you cause strain on the relationship between you and your son, or 2 your son will take advantage of it and use you both. 3. you will set yourself up for disappointment. Great that you are gearing him up from head to toe and just make sure you explain he importances of why he should be wearing all the gear all the time. You will not have control over what he does when he is at his dad's and he can even undo the gear importances when he is over there. You should be proud though that since you are taking interest in him, his dad is stepping up somewhat and getting involved. I raised 3 kids in this situation and it always haves its challenges. I could spend an awesome day in the desert with my son riding to be put back on the shelf when we get home because his dad is his dad. But 17 years of being there for them and trying to be the best father I can be and not interfere with their dad (unless it was a custody issue) has paid off. 2 of 3 kids have legally changed their last name to mine and one of them is my Son. Sorry Bryce, I did not mean to hack your thread, but you are starting a life that sounds like it will mirror mine so I thought I would write this down. Good luck on the riding and make sure you get lots of pictures and video to share with us.:thumb: [/QUOTE]
