What started as screen time quickly turned into trail time for Ryan and his son, Jordan. The two loved watching YouTube videos of skilled cyclists tackling challenging trails—and before long, they were inspired to get bikes of their own and join the fun.
To get set up, Ryan and Jordan initially shopped online, but after having a few fit issues, they headed to Fond du Lac Cyclery. Our team took the time to learn about their goals and helped them find the right Trek trail bikes, making sure everything fit just right. With gear in hand, they were ready to hit the trails.
For Ryan, riding is more than just exercise—it’s a way to connect with nature and spend meaningful time with his family. One of their favorite spots is the Fond du Lac Loop, a smooth and scenic trail that winds through the city and beyond.
Eight-year-old Jordan is soaking up every moment on his bike. He’s been studying his YouTube heroes closely, picking up tips on how to ride with control and confidence. But what he loves most? The thrill of flying downhill!
Having an activity that brings parents and kids together is something Ryan truly values. He’s constantly amazed by what his children are capable of, often doing things he never imagined they were ready for. Watching them face challenges fearlessly inspires him to push past his own doubts, too.
