Video: Dad uses leafblower to give tot on trike some wind assistance
A headwind is the cyclist's bane; a tailwind, however, is always welcome.
And here's a heartwarming video from the United States that shows a dad giving his son a bit of wind assistance with the help of a leafblower.
It was uploaded to YouTube last October by Mark Bundy from Williamsburg, Virginia, and the clip has got renewed traction on social media this week.
Mark has posted a couple of other videos featuring his son, Graham.
Here's one of the poor toddler, looking like a Donald Trump-hued Minion, faceplanting after a chute.
The expression on his brother's face suggests a sense of foreboding.
Happily, he shrugged it off like a pro.

For anyone considering putting their kid on a tricycle, don't!

Buy a balance bike instead (other brands are available. I like Puky.)
Looks like great fun but at least give the poor kid some goggles to keep the dust out of his eyes.
