Your kids on bikes pics......

We've broken out nanna's balance bike. He's got the hang of walking with it and now running, just needs to get the scooting idea.

I've sneaked the seat up 15mm to try and promote a bit of balancing.

He's also taken to the trailer now. The idea was to take the trailer for the big shop and put him in the hamax seat but he wanted to sit in the trailer at first though the seating promotes an uncomfortable looking slouch - didn't stop him napping. I'm keeping an eye out for a better trailer in the fullness of time.

* Trailer trip was an essential shopping trip to the supermarket, normally I'd go more often and take a backpack but to keep visits to a minimum I filled the trailer (and didn't manage to overturn it this time). But yes we did go the scenic route. And yes Robin Hood's Well decent was a bit bumpy both in the trailer and on 28c tyres. Still got screams of go faster daddy.

Not my kid, but here's one I always liked. Took it so long ago he'd be in his 20s by now. (I say he, but it's more likely he's a she. Unfortunately that would ruin my name for it.)

They just seem to be so versatile for what we need as a family, not in any kind of rush and the kids enjoy getting off the road, been on some lovely local circuits around our area enjoying the scenery and the weather!

Out of curiosity what model and make is that and do you happen to know the length of it from the front most point of the front wheel to the rearmost bit of the rear. I.e. will it fit in my shed

220cm from end to end, 25cm less if the front wheel is removed.

The bike is a Circe Helios Duo. Circe can provide bikes in separable guise, so that the tandem can be packed into a large suitcase. Alternatively, they can be lengthened to a triplet if required.
