I have a 2 yr old daughter who loves bikes. She always wants to help out when I'm in the garage (usually grabs a micro fleece to help clean it), she always asks sit on my bikes, she yells out "moto" when a bike goes by or we pass one in a car. But she also gets flustered when they start up...we'll see in a few years...her mom started young on a dirt bike.

Like her mom, she lets dad enjoy his bike while the girls spend all his money. Which is okay by me as long as there is enough left over for some gas and a couple of new parts. Ha!
Congrats and Happy Mother's day to your wife and all the mothers out there. I was very girly while growing up and just like your daughter I was in ballet, but my mom had several bikes and would only let me ride the 70cc so I would ride the neighbour's scooter because it was bigger until she caught me like a mile from the house and grounded me for a week.
And now I just bought my first bike and can't wait until friday.
