Nice story. As the UK cycle sport scene grows, this will probably happen increasingly. Sounds as if the boy if well into it.
The first magical moment for me only occurred when I bought my first half-decent bike myself when I was 17. I'd mostly had crap bikes up to that point. I imagine it must have been a magical moment to get my first bike (not really crap, that one, perfectly adequate for a four-year old) when I was 4, but I can't remember anything about it. The most magical moment was learning to ride it--I'll remember that forever.
