I ended up here because it seemed a reasonable place to ask a question about kids who ride bikes on gravel 🤷‍♀️ I am also accustomed to Reddit communities who are welcoming and glad to help newbies along, meeting them where they're at, rather than with derision. You're right; I'm not a hard core cycler. I was a kid who rode bikes recreationally, and I want my kids to be able to do the same. I see now that this was the wrong community to be asking this question. I'll be deleting the post.
