Since we live near the largest park in our borough, I am totally comfortable with DH or I biking in the park with LO. But I refuse to bike with LO to the park, we will walk the bikes for the 5-minute walk and then ride in the park. DH rides a lot, so he is comfortable riding in the streets, but I refuse to have him do that with LO on the back.

I am not a fluent bike-rider. I can ride, but I don't do it often and hardly ever street ride. My husband rides his bike every day and used to commute across town on his bike. He also takes long rides with the dog, so I know he's capable of being aware of himself and another living creature. I wouldn't ride with our son in the street, but I'd feel comfortable with my husband doing so. In fact, we're dying for him to get older so he can fit in the seat that attaches to the front of the bike.

@Mrs. Pen: not yet but that will be next on my list. But that I will buy new; I don't do old head or feet gear from people I don't know.

I take my daughter all over Portland in our burly trailer. It's a really safe city to bike in, so I feel pretty comfortable.

I think I am going to go the trailer route. I am an avid rider, but still fairly clumsy so I would prefer my baby be closer to the ground.

Hope this isn't changing the subject too much, but how old does a baby have to be before you can put them on the bike with you?
