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.

Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

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.
