Adam Thomas is overwhelmed after he successfully taught his son how to ride a bike without stabilizers during lockdown.

The soap star was bursting with pride at the weekend when he took his son Teddy, five, on his first bike ride after learning to ride his bicycle without any aids.

Adam, who has son Teddy and daughter Elsie-Rose, who turns two next month, with his wife Caroline, is proud that he's accomplished this father-son moment during the world health crisis.

He uploaded a snap of him and his kids on their bikes and captioned it, 'If the only thing I did whilst in lock down, was teach my son how to ride a bike with no stabilisers... and then go on our first bike ride together... I’ll come out of this with my head held high."
