Thanks, Peter.
It's interesting, there are people who *love* trailers, and people who
*love* the front mounted seats. Not sure if there are people who
*love* rear rack mounted seats, but they sure get used a lot. I'll
report back when I have some experience. Since I already have the
bobike mini, t
Haven't tried the Bobike, but as a big guy with only drop bar bikes on
my Atlantis and other frames, I could never imagine that I'd be
comfortable with my kid front and center. Felt like it would get in
the way of my knees and arms. I used a CoPilot Limo which mounts on a
back rack for a while.

Make it so that you switch cockpits before and after your long-ish
rides; then it won't *seem* as much of a hassle. Spending 5 minutes
extra to prep for and 5 extra minutes to "recover from" a a two-to-six
hour weekly ride is nothing, psychologically. Doing it to accommodate
a 20-minute a
My son is 10 now, and grew up in the Bobike. I love that thing.
Children (my child) are not only awesome to interact with and talk to,
sometimes they just freak out, turn red and scream, board-stiff in a
rictus of anger and frustration. It's way better to have that happen
in front of you than behin
What everyone "needs" is just two bikes -- an A. Homer Hilsen for
everything fast and an Atlantis for everything gnarly. You've already
got a Sam, which is like the A. Homer. So, just sell everything and
buy an Atlantis and you'll be good to go. Everything else goes in the
"want" column!!

Yes, mounting a bobike mini requires fairly upright handlebars, a la
Euro city bike. But I believe the payoff is worth it: Sharing the joys
of biking with your kid by being able to ineract easily, giving them a
great view and the sense of actually cycling, rather than being
luggage on a bike.

I am a yoga teacher. My work shifts last 1:45, but some days I have
two, one in the morning, one in the evening. In between I go home.
It's not so bad, really. :)

The Hillborne could do it all.
I've heard some negative things about the Bobike carrier... no
protection, mounting challenges, knee and body interference. Take a
look at the Topeak Babyseat II. While big and kind of ugly, it looks
like an easy on/off solution that uses a rear rack and appears t
You are right, the seatpost diameter is 31.8, IIRC, but I bought a
shim to fit a 27.2 post. Can't get any nice posts in 31.8, and if I
sell the Fisher, I'll put the old no-setback post back on and save the
27.2 VO for the next bike.

I know you want the stem mount kid hauler, but my vote would be a trailer.
Then use the skewer mount hitch for it. I use it with my burely nomad
trailer. The skewer fits mountain bikes tour bikes and yes even carbon
bikes. The trailer even substitutes nicely for shopping.

You had me convinced that the Fisher was/is too small for you.
Ideally it seems like you'd ask Santa to replace your Fisher with a
Hunqapillar in your size.
On a related note, are you sure your Fisher seatpost is 27.2? I
recall the mountain bikes of 1990 having really chubby seatposts.
Maybe not
My vote goes to custom stem for the fisher to make it your kid hauler
& trail bike.
