It's an hour bus ride, so works out about the same. 😅

Top tube modification allows attaching a child seat like this for picking my kid up from preschool:


I already had to raise the seat once (with the plywood) and extend the legs lower with a Dremel and bolts, though, so I don't think it will last another 3 months of growth spurts. Going to upgrade to this one next, I suppose:

Hideously expensive, but that front piece tilts down and becomes really long leg supports. My daughter loves riding in the middle way more than the back, so not many options.

Down tube modification is something called a flick stand. Unfortunately the grooved plastic washer with two positions it normally uses to let it flick up and down between holding the wheel steady or not wore out years ago, so I had to add a spring. It's super valuable for keeping the bike extra steady when loading up a kid in a child seat and her backpack, though. Wish someone would produce a new off the shelf version, though.
