I don't know them to comment but the physics and logistics of superlong bikes and small kids freaks me out. I guess the 25-30miles a day reflects that reality. I remember riding down from Ukiah to Hwy20 on 101 and meeting a family on a custom triple towing their toddler in the trailer. I was 25 and fit, the parents in their late 20's. The set-up was impressive but all I could think of was what happens in a wipeout, how long it would take to scrub speed and how you'd want to limit speeds on descents. With a quint and that trailer the mass is huge and must have some hairy handling nature
