For the past few years, I've been having a blast riding with my two grandsons on the back of my cargo bike. I'm not sure who has more fun, them or me.
Unfortunately, I fear the time is near when I can no longer haul the two of them together. It's not that the bike or I can't handle the weight, that is not really an issue. The problem is that the older one simply cannot behave himself, and nearly puts me out of control with his antics. When he was smaller, and didn't have so much weight to throw around, it wasn't quite as big a deal, but now it's getting dangerous.
Last week, I took them out for a ride, and shot a video using different camera angles, including putting the camera on the older boy's helmet for part of the ride, and on my helmet facing back for another part.
When he was wearing the camera, he was pretty well behaved, but on the way back, he was up to his old antics again, and giving me a really hard time.
After the ride, I sat with them and watched the entire portion of the ride where the camera was trained on them, and warned him that if he did not change the behavior, this may have to be our last ride, because it simply is not safe to act like that.
Anyway, I managed to get enough footage where he wasn't acting too outrageously to put this video together.
