Nice post, Smitty. I like your Nitto Big Rack child-seat mod. (I assume kiddos like it? Are the pieces zip-tied on?) I can't trust my not-quite 3 yo son to hold on, but maybe I'll get to work on collecting and building the pieces for when he's ready.
I enthusiastically endorse the front seat. I use the Yepp Mini, which works great with quill stems. (There's an adapter for threadless, but maybe that's not relevant for this group.) The Yepp has a nice quick release (with key lock) and optional windscreen, which sounded dumb to me initially, but enabled us to ride comfortably in cool and cold weather. (When you're not pedaling and just along for the ride and exposed on the front, it gets cold... go figure.) The front seat means he has access to the handlebar bell, and it brings smiles to all the folks on the sidewalks who see and hear us coming. And we always stop to look at the brook and hear the running water (at his request). For us, riding is a much different experience from driving, and by different, I mean better. --sho On Friday, March 1, 2013 11:19:27 AM UTC-5, Andy Smitty Schmidt wrote: > > This is somewhat OT but the pics are full of stuff from Riv...
