Toddler Roll Call
I keep complaining to myself that I have no time to go on a BF ride because I gotta spend some time with the little guy. Anyone else in the same boat? Who knows, maybe there's enough of us to do a group ride sometime pulling our baby trailers?
Here's us before going for a ride last fall. He turns two next month.

My daughter will be 4 in Oct. It can be tough to get away for a ride, but I try to make up for it with some park time or something else she really enjoys. I feel guilty sometimes, but I honestly think that riding keeps me sane and even makes me a more patient dad. At least that's what I tell myself.

I've got two! But if it's during the week my 3 year old is in preschool. That would be easier, preferably on a Wednesday. We could do SART! My wife doesn't like it when I take them on the street. Actually she said "NO MORE RIDING ON THE STREET!!!"

I find the cars give a lot more passing distance when pulling the trailer! 
But the SART would be fine with me.

Got 3 myself, oldest learns to drive this year. 
Just a pointer for those with toddlers, all 3 of mine were riding no training wheels by 4. Something they pointed out at the BMX track, let them learn balance on one of those little razor scooters. They're 2 inches off the ground so there's no fear falling, and when they have that down, it's time for a bike without traing wheels in a big empty area like a school playground or parking lot. They get the hang really fast.
