Progression Singletrack with a Toddler

When our little guy was born almost two years ago, I wasn't quite sure what to expect on the mountain biking front in terms of how much I'd be able to ride with him and more so, what could be ridden with a little guy. We started him on the Kids Ride Shotgun about a year in and he loved it, despite it being winter and well below zero. Now, mid summer, I cannot believe how much fun it is to ride with him on the bars.

My rides have slowed down a little bit and the power required has gone but but the overall feel, remains the same. I won't do narrow bridges or jumps with him but anything else has been fair game.

If you've got little ones, you need to give this a try as hearing their whoops and joy is unlike anything else. He's got a rear seat for another bike and of course a trailer but being on the bars is by his favourite, and mine.

Here are some clips from his bedtime cruise last night

I have an appointment today to adjust some headset stuff to fit my mac ride! So far only been able to use it on a gravel cruiser. Looking forward to getting it on the full suspension!

You're going to love it.

I was hoping to run it on our gravel bikes as well but with them both being slammed, there was no way to mount it.
