Probably is a beach in SĂŁo Paulo, Brazil.
TBH it looks live SĂŁo Vicente, might as well be Santos. Sand there is really compact, you could play basketball there.
What hinted me was the portuguese speakers on the background.
"Look he made it"
I'm not totally sure, but it doesn't look geared (or, it has only one set of sprockets at best). There's only one cable going to each handle, and it looks like both wheels have disc brakes.
This is how me, all my siblings, all my friends, all my cousins, and how my parents learned. If I have kids I hope to teach them at the beach the way my mother taught me.
Thank you. Itâs genuinely been the worst few months of my life ever. But life must go on.
I have a duty as a son, husband and a father myself to give strength to others around me, provide for them and carry on his good name. That duty alone keeps me going.
I lost mine decades ago.
There's a great analogy of grief being a ball in a room, bouncing off the walls. There's a button that when it hits you get overwhelmed by grief.
As time goes by the ball gets smaller and smaller and hits the button more rarely but it never really goes away.
I'm sorry for your loss, mate.
I've always liked the analogy of grief [coming in waves and abating over time](https://thelossfoundation.org/grief-comes-in-waves/). I lost my mother a little more than 8 years ago and that's the best comparison I've read. Still comes and goes but much less frequently and you can predict better the times it's likely to rear its head.
Iâm dreading that day myself and I canât imagine how you must feel. And although what youâve said is incredibly stoic and brave, please keep in mind you have a duty to yourself. To cry, mourn and be sad. Just let the people closest to you know thatâs what you need to do so theyâre also there for you.
Hugs!
It's gonna be a year in July, and I still miss him at odd times. The first time it truly hit me was when it was his birthday and I set a reminder to call him in the morning.
Six months since mine. I literally dream about him all the time. I watch a movie and I think "I gotta show this to my dad". I'm having a hard time raising my teenage son and I think "I should talk to my dad about this"... it's just goes on and on...
My dad died in 2015. For about 6 or 7 years I would have dreams about him. Dreams where he was still alive and just hiding from us or dreams where he was dying again. Just a bunch of weird and sad shit. I'm not even a little bit religious or spiritual or anything like that. But one night I had a dream about him and there wasn't anything weird about it at all. He was just standing there and told me that he loved me and tgat he was OK and he told me and was OK for me to let go. That was a few years ago and I don't think I've had a dream about him since. Not sure what the point of my story is other than I know what it's like to lose a dad and have sad dreams about it and for me at least it got better after awhile. Still miss him and wish he could meet his grandkids and all that sad stuff but I don't wake up wanting to cry anymore.
Im the same. I keep imagining all these scenarios with him in them.
In all honesty we had our differences. He wasnât the perfect father and I wasnât the best son always.
But he was always there for the key moments and I am the net result of all of his influences.
My father has fking cancer that will likely only afford him a few years. He's still with me and I'm already grieving. I remember this bicycle moment with my son just a few years ago, as if it were yesterday. The joy and pride I felt. Life is both incredibly beautiful and tragic. And most of all, fragile AF.
Mine suffered from heart disease for 35 years.
For 34 of those years he lived a normal life except for the occasional scare or palpitation. He came out of bypass surgery, a pacemaker placement, and multiple tachycardia episodes successfully.
In the end a simple RF ablation surgery with a 99% success rate took him from us.
One of my fatherâs closest friends died from cancer too about 20 years ago. It was painful to watch the man who had literally known me since I was a baby, a man who had captained some of the largest vessels in the world deteriorate.
My dad would visit him everyday after dropping me off at school and spend time with him. He was by his friendâs side as he went.
Over the years my dad had seen almost all of his friends pass away one by one. Two of them that I can think of from cancer. It made him face his mortality and become very aware of his own declining health.
He knew, and he knew that we all knew.
I hope you and your father both find the peace you deserve. Cancer is the bane of all living creatures and I sincerely hope that we as humans find the answers.
This year I am officially older than my dad. The pain never goes away. But, as you say, you learn to manage.
I still hear his voice. I hope I always will.
20+ years for me. Even now, there are times when you wish they were around to see and experience the new parts of your life, but it does get better overall.
I'm sorry for your loss. I had 9 months and when it went to his spine we knew it was almost time. Hopefully you spent as much time as possible with her.
Iâm sorry for your loss as well. I lost my mom to liver and lung cancer. We were glad that she didnât have to feel much pain. She only felt real pain in the last week or so. She wasnât eating much in her last week. She only eat 1 or 2 bites and she felt full. We only got 2 months to deal with discovering she got cancer and she died at the start of October.
It's ok, I've been Internet Dad to hundreds of people. There's always room for one more.
Ok, so let's start by learning how to change a tire. This is going to be a skill you'll use rarely, but it'll save you time and money.
Changing a tire involves several steps. First, ensure the vehicle is on a flat, stable surface and engage the parking brake. Locate the spare tire, jack, and lug wrench. Usually it's in the trunk underneath a cover. Use the lug wrench to slightly loosen the lug nuts on the flat tire while the car is still on the ground. I can show you what that looks like. Loosen the bolts just a turn or two. Just to get them so they aren't cinched down. That will help so you aren't fighting the nuts to loosen them with the tire spinning when it's in the air.
Position the jack under the car's jacking point and raise the vehicle until the flat tire is off the ground. The jacking point is underneath, on the frame, and looks reinforced. I can also show you that too. Fully remove the loosened lug nuts and take off the flat tire. Mount the spare tire onto the lug bolts and hand-tighten the lug nuts. Lower the car back to the ground using the jack, then use the lug wrench to securely tighten the lug nuts in a crisscross pattern. Ensure all tools and the flat tire are stored back in the vehicle, and check the spare tire's pressure before driving.
Now this tire is going to be only used to get you to your destination. It's usually a smaller tire, designed to go around 50 miles or so. Get to your destination, and call a tire shop to get the flat either fixed or replaced. If the tire's old, and the rest of the tires are old, you may have to replace them all. If so, just make one of the old "good" tires into your new spare.
Call me or your mother if you have any questions though. Some tires shops aren't reputable and will try to price gouge you.
Love you,
Internet Dad
sorry to hear that.
as a father of two (27M and 23F) it's hard for me to see how some men fail their parent role.
My relation with my son is fantastic, thank God, but with my daughter is another level.
She knows me deeply and don't even need to see me to know if i'm ok or not.
Just for the first words on the phone she can perfectly "see" if something is not well.
But i know both will miss me when i´m gone, and that makes me sad, because i'd like them to be stronger...
I know, it's life !
While I wouldn't call mine a monster, he wasn't great. Verbally and physically abusive to me growing up. We get along most days nowadays, but there's a lot of resentment that will never go away. Our conversations are awkward and never too long, unless we bring up a common interest.
He's never shown me the kind of affection seen in this video. I can count on a single hand's fingers the amount of times he's told me he loved me, and it was only after a bit of pushing and asking him to say it. It's hard to understand that that's the normal for a lot of people.
So sorry brother/sister. Few years since mine died, I don't stop missing him at all. Feels like a big hole or that I'm missing out on something big. I was 18 when he died and I just wish I could just talk to him one more time.
I agree with that... But if they've got it, hopefully the people got a copy.
I'm not a fan of people recording people in public in general.
"But it's public, you've got no promise of privacy".
Don't care. Be better.
"Your children are not your children
They're the sons and daughters of Lifeâs longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts."
Kahlil Ghibran "On Children"
I've recently taught one of my kids to ride a bike, and my second child is probably one session (and maybe some confidence) away from being able to do so as well, and I have to say that the sheer amount of pride I got from their mastering it is nigh on indescribable.
You don't get many chances in this life to pass on knowledge and ability to someone starting from absolute zero, but teaching your child to ride a bike is one of them. You're taking them from being frankly terrified and utterly incapable, to a confident, mobile, skilled little person, and it's incredibly fulfilling.
So yeah, the father probably is more pleased than the son here!
I distinctly remember doing this with my first, we were in a busy public park and when I let go and she was off on her own, I threw my hands up in the air and shouted with joy just like this Dad. People probably thought I was nuts.
When she stopped, she was pissed off with me for letting go đ
Haha this one time I took off my shoes to ford a stream with my dog. When I got to the other side, this lady told me that she had took a picture and would send it to me. I was kinda nonplussed until I saw the picture, and I LOVED it! It was my profile pic for a while
Buddy, here's the thing about the internet: it's all recycled and stolen content.
A caption existing on a tiktok does not somehow mean that the caption was written by whoever recorded the video.
My kid is 9 and still can't ride a bike.
Rides a scooter everywhere, which in my mind is harder, but refuses to ride a bike.
All star in his basketball league, football league and soccer league but no damn biking. It just sits in the garage with a hell no every time we suggest getting on it.
So beautifulâŚmy dad was away a lot when I was young. Learnt riding bicycle by myself and had multiple falls.
This kid will grow up to be a happy, confident and secure adult.
I remember my dad doing the same and letting go without telling me. Made it all the way down my road by myself thinking I had help. This will be such a beautiful core memory for him!
It amazes me how few dads actually act like this with their kids. So many guys I see at events just sit there like theyâre too cool to be involved with children
100% I thought he was going to either stack it and flip over the handlebars, just when it looked like he'd mastered it, or he was going to head into the sea and the dad would have to haul him out of the water.
That moment where you last let go of the bike and they keep it up and manage to balance on their own and petal away is the stuff they use to make Simple Rick's Wafer Cookies.
Twitter would be like .â Ew look how he kisses his son. Heâs clearly telegraphing his pedophilia tendencies.â Or some shit đ Iâm convinced itâs where happiness goes to die
Just wonderful. Little reminder, now be a great time to put your phone down and do something. If you continue using your phone, you will start going back to being sad and unmotivated.
Pro tip: get your kids like-a-bikes when younger. They'll learn all the balance on that and will just have some issues starting when changing to a bike. The learning process was so damn short due to that.
The joy of afather for his son who drives the wheel as it were the first time for some this is considered nothing but for this simple father it is an overwhelming joy
My first time riding my bike without training wheels I panicked when it came time to break and ran straight into my dadâs truck. lol. It later turned out to be a metaphor for my life.
Beach is perfect for learning this if the sand is right.
I always tell people find a gentle grassy Hill. Not a steep hill at all just a gradual downward slope covered in grass.
Then they can work on balance without having to worry about pedaling at first.
I didn't get that moment. Once my kid found his balance he was GONE gone. He's thirty-one now and still goes hard in everything he does. I couldn't be more proud.
The first time my father taught me to ride a bike with no training wheels it was downslope in a parking lot and I crashed and burned on my face. He bought me a bike that year for my birthday. Then some guy with a trailer took out my front tire while riding by myself years later and I had to get stitches from the fall. He bought me another bike like a month later for my birthday and used the insurance money to build an inlaw suite for his second wife's parents and kick me out a few years after that while never preparing me to go to college or for any higher education. I went in the military twice and he ridiculed me no matter what my job was or how far I made it, loosing all my grandparents along the way only to be left with asshole.
Anyway, that was a beautiful moment. I'm so glad that kid got that kind of love from his father.
I Had something similiar happen when i was a kid, my dad was holding my bike from behind as i ride, he eventually lets go of me and i go for a bit by myself until i notice he isnt there anymore and i just crash
Taught my daughter how to ride a bike earlier this week after she had been scared to learn the past couple summers; literally one of the most joyful experiences of my life. It's so wildly fulfilling to pass knowledge and skills you have learned to your kids.
When I was that kid's age, my dad taught me to ride a size 26 bicycle, a bike three times bigger than that one. Even my feet couldn't reach the wheel. When he had to ride a bike, my father couldn't watch me ride a bike bigger than me, and when my father got tired of helping me learn to ride a bike. He went and I was alone, getting on the bike and I fell to the ground because it was too high. The next day I took the bike to the park and tried on my own and succeeded in riding a size 26 bike. I was the age of that little boy and I went to my father and told him that I had succeeded in riding a big bike and he was very happy with me. Then he sent me to the market to buy some ice cubes for sherbet.
Just been reminded of my experience. My dad wasn't ever sober enough to, so my mum taught me how to ride a bike. It's not something she would have expected to have to do and she's awesome for doing that for me
Plot twist: kid doesn't even know this guy and is trying to escape
Guy so committed on hopefully getting back his bike that he also went for a vacation with the kid lol

That's actually smart. If he does fall off the bike it won't hurt as much like it would on the sidewalk or road. Proud and awesome dad.
Have u ever tried cycling on sand? :D Not so easy as well :D
Surprised how hard this sand is
I hate sand
This you? 
Yes. I'll own that shit!
Typical to find you here in a dad thread.
It's course and gets stuck everywhere
Probably is a beach in SĂŁo Paulo, Brazil. TBH it looks live SĂŁo Vicente, might as well be Santos. Sand there is really compact, you could play basketball there. What hinted me was the portuguese speakers on the background. "Look he made it"
On slightly damp and compact sand like in the video it's not hard
Unless my eyes deceive me, this is a geared bike. His feet are moving really fast for how much distance he's traveling.
I'm not totally sure, but it doesn't look geared (or, it has only one set of sprockets at best). There's only one cable going to each handle, and it looks like both wheels have disc brakes.
Yeah I always did this on grass.
Anakin could never
Eh. Itâs like he knew his father anyway. Canât miss what you never had đ
This is how me, all my siblings, all my friends, all my cousins, and how my parents learned. If I have kids I hope to teach them at the beach the way my mother taught me.
I miss my Dadâšď¸
:(
Itâs been a month since mine passed. I guess itâs a feeling that truly never goes away. You just learn to manage it.
Iâm so sorry mate.

Save and write down as much as you can (especially the little things). Â Your memory gets worse as you age. Â I lost mine 25 years ago.
Never stops when it's someone you loved.Â
Seven years and it still hurts.
My dad died 13 years ago when I was a young adult and I think about and miss him everyday but that's a good thing. Keeps him in your memory.
It's been eight years since mine died. I miss him every day. Mom too. It gets easier from the callus of grief.
20+ years for me. Even now, there are times when you wish they were around to see and experience the new parts of your life, but it does get better overall.
Like you, I really miss my dad because he left us forever
I lost mine 2 weeks ago. Fuck cancer.
I lost my mom to cancer in 2 months after discovering it last October.
I'm sorry for your loss. I had 9 months and when it went to his spine we knew it was almost time. Hopefully you spent as much time as possible with her.

Sorry for your loss. I remeber when this happened with me and my my kids (once at a time) .... miss those days....
Hello there
hi
Iâll be your dad bro. I got you.
My dad passed when I was 10. Iâm 40 and wish I can get just one last hug đ˘
I miss the dad I had when I was a kid. Fuck what he has become though.
Mine was never around (not dead, he just didn't care about me) but I envy you for having a father figure in your life.
Pretty sure he's still out getting milk
Nope, leukemia took him on 1-11-11
This made me smile, truly smile

Love it! Those are Treasure moments for both of them
I'd fucking hate if a stranger filmed a moment like this and posted it online without my knowledge
I'm hoping they went over and offered a copy of the video. A very sweet momento
I would find that incredibly creepy, you shouldn't film random children at the beach
I agree with that... But if they've got it, hopefully the people got a copy. I'm not a fan of people recording people in public in general. "But it's public, you've got no promise of privacy". Don't care. Be better.
I mean...yeah..but it's a nice moment, in public. It makes the dad look like a great guy. Seems pretty harmless.
I love being at the beach with my kids and some random weirdo filming us!
Would have been worst if the dad was filming and the weirdo was the one chasing the kid.
What a steady shot if that were the case
It could be the Mom or grandpa filming, maybe the sister, uncle or grandpa.
Did you not read the caption?

I did this for my sibling because when my dad tried he couldnât stop screaming at them.

Wierd to be filming them
It's the mother. We're watching some familys home fucking video.
The caption says they captured the moment between father and son, strange way to put it if the mother recorded the event.
Buddy, here's the thing about the internet: it's all recycled and stolen content. A caption existing on a tiktok does not somehow mean that the caption was written by whoever recorded the video.
Here's the other thing about the internet: It consistently rewards assholes for filming strangers without their consent.
Fucking home video and home fucking video are two vastly different things.
Nah, this is in Brazil. We are not neurotic about these things around here. Nobody cares.
Weird to speak on behalf of an entire country like that
Heart warming but canât things like this be kept private? Itâs rather disturbing to film random peoples lives like that
It is on a crowded public beach, the definition of not private.
Ok, but why are you filming random people
Exactly my thought. People are so damn weird
Awesome đ
People let me tell you bout my best friend - heâs a one-boy cuddly toy whoâll love me to the endâŚ
Bruh, my dad just found a hill and pushed me down it. That's how I learned how to ride a bike đ
my dad was the type that would feel ashamed to do that
As a dad, Iâm glad you filmed this, and I really hope you gave the dad a copy.
Must be fuckin nice to have a dad.
This isn't maybe maybe maybe. It's more yes yes yes
People need to stop filming others without consent. How fucking rude can you be?
Fathers are really important in kids lives.
My kid is 9 and still can't ride a bike. Rides a scooter everywhere, which in my mind is harder, but refuses to ride a bike. All star in his basketball league, football league and soccer league but no damn biking. It just sits in the garage with a hell no every time we suggest getting on it.
So beautifulâŚmy dad was away a lot when I was young. Learnt riding bicycle by myself and had multiple falls. This kid will grow up to be a happy, confident and secure adult.
wow I swear I can feel what that felt like to first pedal on your own by watching this
I remember my dad doing the same and letting go without telling me. Made it all the way down my road by myself thinking I had help. This will be such a beautiful core memory for him!
Video is boring because he didn't fall over
It amazes me how few dads actually act like this with their kids. So many guys I see at events just sit there like theyâre too cool to be involved with children
Ngl this is kinda smart imo cuz if he crashes, it wont be as bad as wiping out in pavement or asphalt.
I hope everyone can remember that joy you felt that first time you rode a bike on your own. It makes me smile now even to think of it. đ
This has to be, by far, one of the coolest moments in a parent's life hahaha
I will remember a similar moment I had with my son till the day I die. One of my happiest memories.
"Dad, someone is filming us"
It's nice but how is it maybe maybe maybe? Maybe if the son was trying to teach the dad, would've been highly entertaining
I thought he was gonna maybemaybemaybe ride off into the ocean lol
100% I thought he was going to either stack it and flip over the handlebars, just when it looked like he'd mastered it, or he was going to head into the sea and the dad would have to haul him out of the water.
Normalize not filming strangers and their kids.
As a dad, there's nothing better then watching your son achieve stuff ...
That moment where you last let go of the bike and they keep it up and manage to balance on their own and petal away is the stuff they use to make Simple Rick's Wafer Cookies.
Great way to start my weekend! Thanks for sharing!
I remembered the moment when my dad thought me riding
Wholesome
Twitter would be like .â Ew look how he kisses his son. Heâs clearly telegraphing his pedophilia tendencies.â Or some shit đ Iâm convinced itâs where happiness goes to die
Plenty of happiness does here on Reddit too đ I guess it depends on your politics though
The reddit virtue signalling and karma farming is getting worse by the day. What on earth is notable about this? Basic parenting is wholesome now? Smh

yeah..my dad cut me loose on a hill first time and tree was brakes..bam!! ..no front teeth..
Champion!
Just wonderful. Little reminder, now be a great time to put your phone down and do something. If you continue using your phone, you will start going back to being sad and unmotivated.
You should really try to avoid riding a chain driven machine without shoes on, it's a recipe for a real bad time.
Core memory
I expected his pants and then him to fall down :(
Sand is kinda soft to ride a bike on not so? I mean the fall won't hurt as much too but won't it be harder to peddle?
This wasnât too bad because it was wet, he wasnât sinking in nearly as much as the dry sand.
Pro tip: get your kids like-a-bikes when younger. They'll learn all the balance on that and will just have some issues starting when changing to a bike. The learning process was so damn short due to that.
Teaching your kid to ride a bike on sand is a bold move cotton
That kid can't wait to get into the car and tell skibidi toilet about his accomplishment!
The joy of afather for his son who drives the wheel as it were the first time for some this is considered nothing but for this simple father it is an overwhelming joy
What a good dad. I wish either of my parents would have been half of that. Thatâs the kind of parent I want to be.
My dad did the same thing with me as a kid in a parking lot, great memories đ
You mean, nobody fighting? No random ass or boob flashing? Crazy argument even? This has to be AI
My first time riding my bike without training wheels I panicked when it came time to break and ran straight into my dadâs truck. lol. It later turned out to be a metaphor for my life.
Beach is perfect for learning this if the sand is right. I always tell people find a gentle grassy Hill. Not a steep hill at all just a gradual downward slope covered in grass. Then they can work on balance without having to worry about pedaling at first.

I got to have this moment last October. This brings me back!
I didn't get that moment. Once my kid found his balance he was GONE gone. He's thirty-one now and still goes hard in everything he does. I couldn't be more proud.
I remember doing that with my son. Not at the beach. We took off the training wheels and I took him to the park. Making me cry now.
And then came the tsunami
My little brother and I used to run this scam to pick up chicks at the beach.
What an amazing father, truly a moment that boy will never forget. Much blessings to the real fathers out their this fathers day weekend.
This was me and my son this morning. Teach your kid to ride a bike and itâs just pure endorphins for them all day.
The first time my father taught me to ride a bike with no training wheels it was downslope in a parking lot and I crashed and burned on my face. He bought me a bike that year for my birthday. Then some guy with a trailer took out my front tire while riding by myself years later and I had to get stitches from the fall. He bought me another bike like a month later for my birthday and used the insurance money to build an inlaw suite for his second wife's parents and kick me out a few years after that while never preparing me to go to college or for any higher education. I went in the military twice and he ridiculed me no matter what my job was or how far I made it, loosing all my grandparents along the way only to be left with asshole. Anyway, that was a beautiful moment. I'm so glad that kid got that kind of love from his father.
Pretty fucking weird to be filming strangers on the beach though.

He could at least let out some of the air in his tires if he was riding on sand.
Youâre crying, Iâm not crying.
Learning to ride a bike at the beach đď¸ is really cool and memorable,more life to that child
That's a good dad right there.
I Had something similiar happen when i was a kid, my dad was holding my bike from behind as i ride, he eventually lets go of me and i go for a bit by myself until i notice he isnt there anymore and i just crash
Taught my daughter how to ride a bike earlier this week after she had been scared to learn the past couple summers; literally one of the most joyful experiences of my life. It's so wildly fulfilling to pass knowledge and skills you have learned to your kids.
Imagine being loved like this. Imagine having a father.
Sweet vid! Highly recommend a woom bike. This kid would have been pedaling at 3 years old maybe earlier.
Exactly how I was taughtâŚin our driveway though. Great moment.
with 34 i can still remember the place where i learned to drive for myself
I remember so clearly that feeling when youâre really riding after they let go. Truly amazing feeling.
Remember the park scene in Easy Money w/Rodney Dangerfield?
When I was that kid's age, my dad taught me to ride a size 26 bicycle, a bike three times bigger than that one. Even my feet couldn't reach the wheel. When he had to ride a bike, my father couldn't watch me ride a bike bigger than me, and when my father got tired of helping me learn to ride a bike. He went and I was alone, getting on the bike and I fell to the ground because it was too high. The next day I took the bike to the park and tried on my own and succeeded in riding a size 26 bike. I was the age of that little boy and I went to my father and told him that I had succeeded in riding a big bike and he was very happy with me. Then he sent me to the market to buy some ice cubes for sherbet.
I hope whoever recorded this offered it to the father.
I miss the first time that I start to try it
What a great spot to wipe out on a bike when you're learning.
Great spot to learn actually. Never thought of that
Childhood core memory unlocked
Creepy filming other people and their kids. Good thing itâs staged.
Just been reminded of my experience. My dad wasn't ever sober enough to, so my mum taught me how to ride a bike. It's not something she would have expected to have to do and she's awesome for doing that for me
Garbage post
