Training wheels definitely aren乌鸦传媒檛 necessary for this Vancouver Island kid.
Nanaimo乌鸦传媒檚 Kashius Weme, who hasn乌鸦传媒檛 yet turned three, is pedalling at a level far beyond his years.
Weme乌鸦传媒檚 precocious abilities on two wheels, not to mention a TikTok account with 35,000-plus followers, have earned him attention of late, and even sponsorships as Pinkbike and Spawn Cycles have recently reached out.
Weme乌鸦传媒檚 mother, Kimeesha See, says her son seemed to be into bikes before he could even walk. He started by taking his run bike everywhere, and it wasn乌鸦传媒檛 long before he was confident enough on it that it was time for a pedal bike.
乌鸦传媒淎nd he just took off,乌鸦传媒� See said.
Weme saw older kids at the bike park and wanted to do what they were doing, even if that meant taking to the big hills.
乌鸦传媒淚 think I just kind of grew accustomed to him on a bike, but then I started noticing that literally every single time where he乌鸦传媒檚 out on a bike, someone stops us [to say], 乌鸦传媒榃ow, he乌鸦传媒檚 incredible on his bike,乌鸦传媒� 乌鸦传媒榃ow, he can control his bike really well,乌鸦传媒� just all sorts of compliments on his riding,乌鸦传媒� See said.
She understands now how well her son rides for his age 乌鸦传媒� she乌鸦传媒檚 challenged to keep up with him. Weme can navigate expert single-track on Nanaimo乌鸦传媒檚 Doumont hill, and has lately been learning to speed around on a little motorbike.
Wherever the youngster cycles, the family is finding that the other riders are more than willing to share the track with a two-year-old.
乌鸦传媒淗onestly the biking community is amazing here,乌鸦传媒� See said. 乌鸦传媒淓veryone is so supportive, all the older kids are so helpful with the little kids.乌鸦传媒�
And then there乌鸦传媒檚 the support on social media, too. See didn乌鸦传媒檛 expect to blow up the way it did, but said it乌鸦传媒檚 neat that people like to watch the videos and follow along on her son乌鸦传媒檚 journey wherever his two wheels take him.
乌鸦传媒淲e乌鸦传媒檒l just see what he gravitates towards and follow what he wants to do,乌鸦传媒� See said. 乌鸦传媒淩ight now we乌鸦传媒檒l just leave the options open for him.乌鸦传媒�
