When my first daughter was born (19 years ago, time flies) I ran out and got a Burley trailer. I was really excited to get her into the fun of biking with me, but the first few times we rode around the local lake she fussed and complained. The highlight for her was getting out at the park at the halfway point and swinging on the swings. Then one day, when she was about 8 months old, we were on the return leg of the loop and on a little downhill I let the bike go faster than I usually did. Halfway down the hill, coming from the trailer I heard "Wheeee! Wheeee!" I was so happy, still makes me smile when I think about it. Today that girl has 3 bikes and is always up for a ride. Hectic summer schedules scuttled plans for an overnight last year but we're gonna hope for one again this summer.
