My kids (2.5 boys), ride their trikes down the driveway (a small, safe

Any thoughts about what I could use to prolong the life of the shed
door? I checked out the local HD, and didn't see anything that I
thought I could use as a safe bumper.

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on this?

All you need is a stick about 2 or 3 feet long and an inch thick.
When the kids drive their bikes into the shed, SPANK THEIR BUTTS.
Problem solved ! If i had done this as a kid I would have gotten my
butt kicked. Of course if you want to enable this behavior, you
could put up a rail using posts and a plank, and cover the surface
with half tires bolted to it.

I am wondering how long those bikes will last? Dont the brakes work
on them?

re; Dont the brakes work on them?

Trikes and/or Big Wheels don't have brakes, other than sheer leg
strength on the pedals preventing the front wheel from turning. I
wouldn't expect a 2.5 YO to have that type of strength or
coordination.


Ok, then restrict the kids to not using that hill. If they do, spank
their butts.
End of problem !
