When you have kids and busy jobs, its sometimes difficult to make sure you get enough riding in. The only conscious compatible solution to this is to take them with you whenever you can. Over the years we’ve used a combination of child seats and trailers. We are now at the stage where we can use a trailer bike for the eldest.

So we took it out for spin this afternoon and it was a roaring success. He’s not quite big enough to put much effort into the pedalling, but we can at least get out and enjoy the summer. Now all I need is for the forward mounting child seat to arrive at the LBS and we will be well and truly away!
