Riding with small children
On Friday I saw a guy with a small child behind him on the seat on a Road King. The rider was wearing a kidney belt that had a small backpack on the back with two grips attached for the child to hang on to. The backpack sort of pushed the child back into the backrest, and the grips kept the child holding on. The kid looked safe, and very happy.
Great Idea!! I don't know if he made, or bought it, but it looked great, and safe for the child.

RE: Riding with small children
There's a company in Canada that makes these belts. Thought about getting one so I could take my 5-year old boy for rides. But I'm still undecided on the belt thing.
But I think it's a great idea. Check it out: http://www.childridingbelt.com/engprod.htm

Coaster, that's the one I saw. The kid was maybe 3 or 4, and looked really safe.

RE: Riding with small children
Joanne and I had a chat about something like that a while back. Our little one, now 5 yrs old next month, wants to go on Daddy's "big noisy bycicle". Joanne would prefer an RK with sidecar - I'm not convinced. Another consideration for me is how would I feel about myself if ever anythin bad happened while my little princess was on the back.
