However, compared to my just cruising along speed he is painfully slow, through no fault of his own. I still love going with him but if I ride at his top speed my heart rate barely goes above resting. Does anyone know of a device, frictional or otherwise, that increases cycling difficulty when riding with kids. It would be fantastic if I could pedal at 250 or 300 watts and be going the same speed as him. I don't often have enough time to do conditioning riding and family riding. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance!!
