Re: [RBW] Craigslist, etc 2023

Apologies to the group for the earlier spam.Just wanted to say that the seller of this 64 Clem is a list member and he’s awesome. If it had been the smaller size or if the mtn mixte hadn’t shown up, I would have bought it. I think it’s a great deal for a great bike plus a super nice sellerMaxOn Sep

Re: [RBW] Craigslist, etc 2023

Re: Helmets Back when my son was about 2 yrs old, about 16 years ago, there were only kids helmets that were pointy in front and pointy in back, so when he sat in a trailer, his head would be forced forward and he couldn't rest his head in the back. Understandably, he hated the helmet and one rid

Re: [RBW] Re: Babies on bikes

RE helmets, they tell you to get your kid in a helmet at home so that they get used to it. Or just leave it out for them to play with. We got lucky that ours never had beef with one, 4 years now and still mostly doesnt have an issue putting one on. On Tuesday, September 12, 2023 at 12:26:40 PM

Smitty - May I ask what didn't work about the front seat set up? Was it leg clearance for yourself? Being able to steer (as someone else pointed out earlier). The set up videos of these seats make it look so easy to set up and ride, so I am wondering if there is something specific (like size o
