WooHoo!! Gotta love that corn!
I digress.
I'm in the same boat with my 7 year old son. He wants to be out with Dad real bad.
Two more options not explored here are 1) a tail-gator- fits on your seat post and he follows along behind; some even have 7 speeds so the rider can help do the work of riding.
2) a tandem- outfitted with either a "kid crank" on the stoker downtube or pedal extensions on the stoker crank arms.
I think I've ruled out number one and am pursueing a tandem. My kid would love it; I'd love him being with me.
I could share my cycling passion with anyone interested in seeing what it's all about with a tandem.
And I might even get my bride to ride! That would be nifty.
Good luck.
