Anyone knows where to get the kid’s Adidas sandals? It seem like everywhere is out of stock.

I am looking for helmet for my son. Something suitable for cycling and skating would be good. Is there a need to get "specialized" helmet for skating/cycling? Or can buy one fit all sports?

I believe the helmets for in-line skating would do just fine for cycling too. You should be able to find them anywhere. If you son is learning cycling, better get him to wear wrist guards, elbow and knee pads too.

Thanks chief. He already had elbow and knee pads. Got them for him when he started scooting. I didn’t see a need for helmet then becos he couldn’t/wouldn’t go fast then.


Now that he is scooting pretty well, There is a need for helmet.

Wrist guards? Hmmm something new! Make sense, ESP since we tend to use our hands to break our fall.

Actually, for skating, wrist guards are the most important protection, IMO. You can recover easily from bruises on the elbows or knees, but it is must harder to recover from wrist injuries.

Yup right. Agree with you chief. I have a friend who seems to have a perpetually painful wrist. He said he hurt it years back when he fell.

Want to ask - any recommendation on kid’s bike? Low to mid range one’s will do.

What about glove?

When u fall where is the first contact point bet the n
Hand n the Tarmac?
Helmet is important regards less of how fast yr boy goes cos you forgot abt others around like collision , when one fall the head may hit the ground, on coming cyclist, skaters…etc

Don't mean to be rude but don't see a need for glove.

I didn't forget about that, I just don't see a need in the environment my son scoot. I have not upgraded him to anywhere where there could be Cyclist, skaters, joggers. Almost zero risk. All I need to watch out for are drains and passerby (in case my son ram into them).
