Nice video - too bad about the grandson misbehaving!
Thank you.
I'm thinking you have fairly strong heart, lungs, and legs to haul two kids on a big bike. I do well just to haul my own skinny butt down the road. Even if this particular aspect of your collective lives is drawing to a close, you have done well by them, and they will remember the rides with grandpa. You could put the 9 year old on his own bike and drain a little of his energy
Thanks, My heart lungs and legs work pretty good, but we don't go very fast.
Great vid! Cool kids.
One of my big joys in life is my three days a week I watch the grandkids.
The younger one and I pick the older one up from school on the cargo bike, and we go all over by cargo bike. The beach, the park, the book store the wharf......How lucky you and I are!
Cargo bikes are cool, aren't they? What is that, a Yuba?
The kids are big enough for a rear-steer tandem or triple. That would certainly add to the memories for them.
Well, the older one is big enough to ride my tandem with me now.
You're the kind of grandfather I hope to be some day.
It's a rewarding time for sure.
If you are capable of riding with the two of them on a cargo bike, then you are capable or riding with the two of them using an Adams tandem trailer. Balance is a problem with these for those who are not used to the weight, but clearly you can handle that. And having the kids work instead of just sitting there should make it easier to keep them under control (I'm also not opposed to blackmail: "If you don't sit still, I'm going to show all of your friends this picture of you when you were 2.")
For whatever reason I just can not comprehend, the trailer comes with a knobby tire. Swapping it out with a slick one will make it easier to balance.
The next step will be going out to trails with individual bikes, or at most, a 2 rider tandem. When this bike has outlived it's usefulness, I won't be looking for other 3 rider options.
