Started by Bicycle Fish. Last reply by Jadie Williamson Dec 1, 2011. 10 Replies 0 Likes

I have been surprised to see no mention of "balance bikes" for very little kids here at AC. I have to say, I don't have much first hand experience, as I don't have little kid in my life just now.…Continue

Comment by Tom Adams on January 29, 2013 at 11:38: Does anyone want to borrow our old kid's trailer to try? It's a Croozer single seater (with stroller conversion). Now that it's available again, I thought someone might like to try the idea before buying a new one for themselves. See previous comment on wall with photo by Paul Anderson in 2010. I'm having trouble finding the bottom half of the flag pole and the jogger conversion is no longer available.

Comment by Tom Adams on November 20, 2012 at 19:32: Adam, we've got a trail gator kit and we've also got one extra tower attachment (for the other adults seat post) and some trail gator trainer wheels - which can be easily turned up when towing. $40.00 for the lot. See my friend request if interested.

Comment by Adam Williss on November 19, 2012 at 13:46: Hi everyone.

I'm on the lookout for a second hand trail gator to purchase. If you or anyone you know wants to sell, please let me know.

Cheers.

Comment by Michelle Crick on April 2, 2012 at 16:30: Hi is anyone up for a ride during the week Southern area. Thinking of making it a weekly fortnightly ride if anyone is up for it, I posted in my group but not had many takers yet - Southern ride with kids

Comment by Gus K on August 11, 2011 at 23:03: Hi Paul.. Avanti Lil Rippers are the best! My son loves his. I don't think he's ever going to give it up for pedals and chain.

As see here chasing down the SASI junior rider at CX last month

Comment by Paul Anderson on October 18, 2010 at 21:13: Hi Tom and others,
we have been using the trailer you kindly lent us and finding it great (just don't cut corners!). So much so that we have bought Estelle her first bike - an Avanti Electra - which we will use to tow her around. Haven't managed to get her to accept wearing a helmet though - any suggestions?

Comment by Paul Anderson on August 26, 2010 at 13:08: Hi Tom, I would love to take you up on the offer of a tryout on your trailer. We have a 9 month old daughter who loves motion! I've sent you a friend request....
