I am a HUGE xtracycle fan for families with kids. And once The Kid is old enuf for the trail-a-bike, you can resell the xtra if you haven't found a good use for it.
right, but an xtra (or the madsen I opted for rather than an xtra) is not going to make a 34 mile/day run several days a week. I work on my feet in a high energy job, so I can't knock myself out every week on a heavy rig. And it won't be allowed on the train, unless I Xtra my folder...
All summer I was using the madsen to pick him up, which was a challege @ 14 miles r/t with a few good hills, but there were no time constraints and it sure wasn't a third of a century!
