My 4-year-old son is fascinated and obsessed with motorbikes. He has close to a million (almost) toy bikes, and he’s always looking at the real ones when we’re out. He’ll check out their headlights, the shapes and colours, he’s aware of what disc brakes are and how different bikes have different types of silencers. He’ll ask me what kind of sounds a bike makes and how fast it can go, and I’ll pretend to be the motorbike expert that I’m not.
