My recollection is that Colin (in Texas?) on the list did it with a Bleriot. But wouldn't one of the purpose-built longbikes (Big Dummy, Radish) be netter for this? I think the cost would be comparable or maybe even lower, with one of the Xtracycle models. Also, the Betty is 650b and the Free Radical conversion kits work only for 26" and 700c, as I recall -- something to do with rear brake installation, I think.

That way she has a quality ride (vs. the too small Trek MTB, which we may use in the meantime), and when the munchkins are on their own bikes in 7 or so years, she'll have a Betty Foy for all her riding. Anyone done this with a Riv of any type? All thoughts and advice welcomed (as always).

Aussie Wool, Bosco Bars, Betty Foy, Cork Grips, and more. I wrote a guest post on a friends blog about family biking and going car-free. Thought it might be of interest to some folks on here.
