2-year-old B.C. bike rider already attracting cycle sponsors

Nanaimo害羞草研究所檚 Kashius Weme has a knack for extreme cycle sports

Training wheels definitely aren害羞草研究所檛 necessary for this Vancouver Island kid.

Nanaimo害羞草研究所檚 Kashius Weme, who hasn害羞草研究所檛 yet turned three, is pedalling at a level far beyond his years.

Weme害羞草研究所檚 precocious abilities on two wheels, not to mention a TikTok account with 35,000-plus followers, have earned him attention of late, and even sponsorships as Pinkbike and Spawn Cycles have recently reached out.

Weme害羞草研究所檚 mother, Kimeesha See, says her son seemed to be into bikes before he could even walk. He started by taking his run bike everywhere, and it wasn害羞草研究所檛 long before he was confident enough on it that it was time for a pedal bike.

害羞草研究所淎nd he just took off,害羞草研究所 See said.

Weme saw older kids at the bike park and wanted to do what they were doing, even if that meant taking to the big hills.

害羞草研究所淚 think I just kind of grew accustomed to him on a bike, but then I started noticing that literally every single time where he害羞草研究所檚 out on a bike, someone stops us [to say], 害羞草研究所榃ow, he害羞草研究所檚 incredible on his bike,害羞草研究所 害羞草研究所榃ow, he can control his bike really well,害羞草研究所 just all sorts of compliments on his riding,害羞草研究所 See said.

She understands now how well her son rides for his age 害羞草研究所 she害羞草研究所檚 challenged to keep up with him. Weme can navigate expert single-track on Nanaimo害羞草研究所檚 Doumont hill, and has lately been learning to speed around on a little motorbike.

Wherever the youngster cycles, the family is finding that the other riders are more than willing to share the track with a two-year-old.

害羞草研究所淗onestly the biking community is amazing here,害羞草研究所 See said. 害羞草研究所淓veryone is so supportive, all the older kids are so helpful with the little kids.害羞草研究所

And then there害羞草研究所檚 the support on social media, too. See didn害羞草研究所檛 expect to blow up the way it did, but said it害羞草研究所檚 neat that people like to watch the videos and follow along on her son害羞草研究所檚 journey wherever his two wheels take him.

害羞草研究所淲e害羞草研究所檒l just see what he gravitates towards and follow what he wants to do,害羞草研究所 See said. 害羞草研究所淩ight now we害羞草研究所檒l just leave the options open for him.害羞草研究所
