DD loved it and we are looking forward to taking both her and DS for rides this summer on a local bike trail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bike-riding-with-your-lo#post-1412242 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 14:42:36 +0000 sarac 1412242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use a trailer and bike extensively. I love it, and feel very safe. We bike on roads near exclusively, which is easy to do in our bike friendly city. I'd try a trailer on your bike before buying one, it is more work for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bike-riding-with-your-lo#post-1412114 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 14:11:42 +0000 blackbird 1412114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ah so many choices. </p> <p>We would only bike in our subdivision to the park (so, very minimal traffic). Or we would drive to a nearby park! </p> <p>I know she will like biking a lot, though! She's a fan of anything that makes her hair blow around :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bike-riding-with-your-lo#post-1412039 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 13:51:45 +0000 lamariniere 1412039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seat behind! But it totally depends on where you are going. We live in a city, so I would not feel comfortable with a trailer even though it is pretty bike friendly here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bike-riding-with-your-lo#post-1411585 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 11:29:14 +0000 Freckles 1411585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Yep, i'm 5'3 and was riding with LO when she was 16-18 months old. My only issue is that the seat will affect your cycling (your knees will go out a bit). I actually commuted with LO to work (30 minutes) and it was nice because i could adjust her scarf, talk/sing to her, point out cars and other cyclists, etc. But i know the front seat isn't for everyone. The trailer is a great option as well, and safer in accidents since the impact won't be as great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bike-riding-with-your-lo#post-1411563 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 11:21:16 +0000 looch 1411563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've ridden with my son in a trailer, but I am not comfortable with that for use on roads with cars. I like a trailer because I feel like my center isn't affected when I am riding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bike-riding-with-your-lo#post-1411523 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 11:07:17 +0000 blackbird 1411523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@freckles, can you see around her well? It looks so awkward to have a front seat and then to try to be peering around her to steer the bike. Thanks for the site recommendaiton! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bike-riding-with-your-lo#post-1411515 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 11:03:50 +0000 Freckles 1411515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the wee ride kangaroo seat, and love it. A lot of people love the ibert and yeppi as well.</p> <p>I'm a big fan of the front seat, because you can interact with your LO a lot better than the rear seat or trailer.</p> <p>A great source i used when riding a bike with my LO: <a href="http://simplybikeblog.com/?page_id=8058" rel="nofollow">http://simplybikeblog.com/?page_id=8058</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bike-riding-with-your-lo#post-1411489 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 10:56:31 +0000 blackbird 1411489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E will be 1 in April and DH and I like to bike. We haven't been able to do it much since having her, but I would love to start again this spring/summer.</p> <p>If you bike, what have you found to be the best way to take LO with you? A trailer? A seat behind one of you? I feel like she would enjoy the latter best. There's a trail from our subdivision to a park near the house that we like to frequent. </p>
