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

Nanaimosa国际传媒檚 Kashius Weme has a knack for extreme cycle sports

Training wheels definitely arensa国际传媒檛 necessary for this Vancouver Island kid.

Nanaimosa国际传媒檚 Kashius Weme, who hasnsa国际传媒檛 yet turned three, is pedalling at a level far beyond his years.

Wemesa国际传媒檚 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.

Wemesa国际传媒檚 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 wasnsa国际传媒檛 long before he was confident enough on it that it was time for a pedal bike.

sa国际传媒淎nd he just took off,sa国际传媒 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.

sa国际传媒淚 think I just kind of grew accustomed to him on a bike, but then I started noticing that literally every single time where hesa国际传媒檚 out on a bike, someone stops us [to say], sa国际传媒榃ow, hesa国际传媒檚 incredible on his bike,sa国际传媒 sa国际传媒榃ow, he can control his bike really well,sa国际传媒 just all sorts of compliments on his riding,sa国际传媒 See said.

She understands now how well her son rides for his age sa国际传媒 shesa国际传媒檚 challenged to keep up with him. Weme can navigate expert single-track on Nanaimosa国际传媒檚 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.

sa国际传媒淗onestly the biking community is amazing here,sa国际传媒 See said. sa国际传媒淓veryone is so supportive, all the older kids are so helpful with the little kids.sa国际传媒

And then theresa国际传媒檚 the support on social media, too. See didnsa国际传媒檛 expect to blow up the way it did, but said itsa国际传媒檚 neat that people like to watch the videos and follow along on her sonsa国际传媒檚 journey wherever his two wheels take him.

sa国际传媒淲esa国际传媒檒l just see what he gravitates towards and follow what he wants to do,sa国际传媒 See said. sa国际传媒淩ight now wesa国际传媒檒l just leave the options open for him.sa国际传媒
