(I am cross posting this because of versitilty of answers and experiences)


We will be having kids soon and I wanted to start poking around and finding out a few things from more experienced parents in this area. My questions:

How old should a child be before they can come with me on a bike ride (on my bike, not there's)?

What set up is the best for a kid on my bike? Pulled in a trailer? Back seat attached to my bike? Front loaded seat on the bike?

Do we need a different bike to haul a child around in?

What other issues should we know beforehand?

Thank you.
