Ashley Darby’s son, Dean, is taking after his dad, Michael Darby, in more than just appearance. The Real Housewives of Potomac mom’s one-year-old has already picked up an interest in one of Michael’s favorite hobbies, as she captured in a recent Instagram post.

On September 19, Ashley took to social media to offer a glimpse at how Michael and Dean are already bonding over a shared love of biking. In a series of adorable videos posted on September 19, the toddler can be seen smiling while wearing a helmet and riding in a rear-mounted seat on the back of Michael’s bike. From the looks of it, the little one is already shaping up to be an avid outdoorsman like his dad. 

We’ve been watching the #TourDeFrance and now baby is ready to hit the road with Daddy!” Ashley wrote in the caption alongside the clips.  “Dean doesn’t typically watch TV, but he has been glued to the Tour. I wonder what his little mind is thinking now.”

This isn’t the first time that Ashley has shared Dean’s love for all things cycling. Back in May, she shared a video of her son playing with Michael’s bike mount.

“This bike mount is Dean’s favorite thing. I kid you not - he plays with it for 15-20 minutes at a time, picking it up  flipping it around,” she wrote at the time. “We try to hide Michael’s bike and this mount but Dean finds a way to get to them no matter what. May have a little cyclist on our hands.”
