  1. When we were kids, my brother used to tote me on his 24" Schwinn. It
    was part tote - part piggy back, because I didn't get very much of the
    seat.

    Now that I'm larger, there seems to be even less seat available to
    share. Here I am, however, "riding double" with my daughter, who weighs
    around 60 lbs.

    Who else has pics?

    Yeah Jemba performs every now and then with his Dad. Mark, the Dad, has
    a part in his act where he balances upside down by his head on the head
    of his partner...so the only thing in contact is their heads. He's
    amazing.

    Everyone comments about not wearing shoes. Personally I much prefer it
    for freestyle, and he rides with soft pedals anyway (well not soft, but
    plastic flat ones).

    Andrew,

    Boy, I'm not sure I'd trust that much weight on lollypop bearings, or
    better yet, the thin-wall metal frame into which the bearing holders
    fit.

    Also, I'm a little concerned for the baby. There's really no where for
    the mom to go for in an emergency without getting tangled up in the
    rider below. Seems a little dangerous. But then again, I don't know
    the skill of the rider either.

    Overall, I gotta say, pretty impressive!

  11. Bruce, I started replying to your comment but then took it far too far
    off topic so I made a whole new thread about it in Just Conversation. 🙂
    I hope you don't mind my quoting you over there.

    Andrew, I can't view your movie when I download it. RealPlayer crashes.
    (I've downloaded it twice now.) Is there something particular about
    it?

    Thanks.

    Definitely some skilled riding but I have to agree that it's way too
    dangerous for the infant. The mother's weight would kill the little
    one.

    I was hiking once with my about-one-year-old in a hiking backpack-style
    carrier. I was being the usual overly safety conscious and strapped her
    in. I think I even got laughed at for doing so. Lucky I did though,
    because halfway down the trail there was an old wire across the trail
    buried in the grass. I went down flat, and she came partially out of
    the pack, but was fine. The straps saved her from possibly serious
    injury.

    Not a popular stance but that is my position on jumping over people and
    flaming hockey as well. Too dangerous.

    It's encoded with DivX, so to view that 51MB version you will need to go
    to www.divx.com and download the free DivX codec. I've never viewed a
    DivX encoded video with RealPlayer though. Maybe once you have the
    codec, if it doesn't work with RealPlayer you could try Windows Media
    Player.

    There is a 15.8MB version available though which will play in Windows
    Media Player (among many others) without having to go and do extra
    stuff. It is here - http://tinyurl.com/6v3ub

    Enjoy. 🙂

    This was last year when I was in Uganda as a charity volunteer. I was
    the 44th white person to come to this rural village we visited. There
    was one bicycle in the village, so the children were quite facinated by
    a unicycle, let alone a white man on one. 🙂
