Forum: Recreational & Family

Being a new dad I've been wondering which is best, honestly I think a trailer would be easier to get my boy loaded into and ultimately safer than a kids seat. I do think the front mounted seats would be more fun for the kids though. Just wanted an opinion from the family riders. Not alot of...

Has anyone seen of or heard of safe way to convert a 3-wheel jogging stroller into a bike trailer? We have an older InStep aluminum 3-wheel jogger in excellent shape. It's nicely made and folds up. It's also pretty light. We got it second hand from a neighbor. We don't use it very much as a...

I apologize now for the length of this post. My son has been riding for three and a half years now. He's going to turn 7 in December and is asking for a new bike, preferably one that has gears. He currently rides a 16" single speed and it's getting a bit small for him. He has done 15 mile rides...

I was lucky enough to get my hands on a BEll 2 kid trailer but without the rain/snow/wind/cold cover. I looked to source on on e-bay and through the OEM but no luck. If any one has one laying around or a good work around please let me know!! Thanks Ken

I didn't get any bites from the Advocacy forum, so I hope there might be someone on this forum who is participating in or knows anything about the Bicycle Train program where volunteers ride escorting kids to school? Apparently, it's a complement to the Walking School Bus program, but I...

Whoo! Today our eldest who will turn 4 in Dec, rode without training wheels! Sorry, I'm excited. It was cool to watch him handle the bike around the basketball court.

Hi, I have a 98 honda accord. I would like to mount two bikes in that car. What are some of the recommended bike racks (trunk mount and hitch). My car does not have a hitch. Where can I buy one if the hitch is the way to go.

Well, my 10 year old girl (turning 11 in Jan.) has earned her ticket to a better bike. She has been riding cheap Toys R US bikes for several years. I'd like to get her a good bike for the holidays. Any good recommendations. She'll probably get either a hybrid or mountain bike. Some decent...

I am aching to get back in the seat, but it's been a long time since I've owned a bike. I need to know how to choose the RIGHT bike for my needs. Normally, it wouldn't be a big deal - I'd just get whatever cheap off Craigslist, but I've got a little one to worry about now. ^_^ I'm planning...

K2 markets its zed 20 as being for five and up. My son is very tall for four going on five, so no problem there. Question: can training wheels be fitted to small mtb's such as these?

Checked the Chariot Carriers website for online buying of 2010 models through Chariot--Cheetah has changed considerably with alloy wheels & larger windows offered in a green color, but the 'improved' Cheetah is $50 less than it was in 2009 (2010 Cheetah 1- $400, 2010 Cheetah 2- $450). Cougar model...

Hi, all. I wasn't clear on an earlier thread, so I'm going to try this again--hopefully with better results. I was wondering if you guys could recommend a child seat for a 27"-wheeled bike? I just built up an old steel Raleigh Grand Prix to use as my commuter/baby hauler. However, I'm not finding...
