  1. I'm a roadie looking to finally bring the family along from time to time. I
    have a 6 yr old and a 3 year old. I'm assuming a Trailer Bike for the 6
    year old would be cool:

    What about my 3 year old boy? A bike trailer seems a bit small.....he's a big boy....43lbs and tall
    for his age...and a trailer bike too big.

    Any suggestions? Emails welcome.

    Thanks, David

  2. You might start thinking about a tandem or triple to get out with the kids.
    The triple works very well but is rather expensive. There are used ones for
    sale occasionally as children grow up. A good source for info is the tandem
    newsgroup "tandems @ hobbes" . Other excellent sources are Sheldon Brown's
    site and Mark Livingood's site www.thetandemlink.com

    And www.tandemmag.com. I sold a TAB on there within a week; could have sold
    ten of them. OP might consider a tandem TAB. Lots of parts are adjustable to
    fit that fast-growing younger guy.
