On a tour down the west coast I met a woman who was riding from Seattle to San Francisco with her little boy, Ben, in a trailer. He was a little older than 3, but not much - 4 or 5? It was a trailer for two kids, and he was in there with their sleeping bags, the tent, etc. (I can't remember if she had panniers too; I think she did.) She and her husband had ridden their bikes all over the country, and she was very strong! Ben had ridden in the trailer since he was a baby and was very used to it. I have this vivid image of overtaking them on a downhill, and seeing Ben's face flattened against the plastic window, watching the Oregon coast fly by. What a childhood experience!
