Dover Heights toddler takes on the kids’ bike path at Centennial Park on $8k carbon fibre bicycle with training wheels

MAIDEN VOYAGE: Sydney’s eastern suburbs cycling scene reached new heights of excess this afternoon when a Dover Heights toddler was spotted on the Centennial Park kids’ bike path, sporting a $400 rainbow colour lycra cycling kit.

Even though it was his first time on a bike, the 4 year old was riding an $8,000 ultra-lightweight carbon fibre bicycle fitted with training wheels.

He was cheered on by his father, an unfit amateur cyclist who owns all the latest professional gear but struggles to complete a single lap of the park without pulling over for a slice of banana bread.

“I think my son is a future Tour de France contender,” the father told DBT.

“Next week I’m going to get him a support car and a nutritionist.”
