I'll have to try that scoot method. I know if my daughter (turned 5 Sunday) falls and gets a boo boo, it'll be all over for a while. We live in the country so the roads are a bit scarey for me with her so I take her to a Church parking lot a few blocks away. She could scoot all over the place there. My wife wants to ride also and get a trailer for our one year old, but I'd love to get her sister riding. Not sure what it would be like to haul 65 - 70 lbs. around in a trailer. I just got back on the bike myself. I'm 44 and figure it's something we can continue to do together for some time.
