As we get more confident in our kids abilities, we are riding further and further afield. In the second camp, we were easily covering 12-15 miles some days, with mountain biking and BMX riding during the ‘breaks’. We’ve only run into a few snags, mostly with our 7-8 year old crowd dropping chains on their single-speed bikes, and occasional flats. Thanks to the Big Dummies, we are able to carry both the temporarily decommissioned bike, and the rider, to a good location for bike maintenance.
As it may not be clear in the photo, Mark and I also carried 8-9 backpacks in the Xtracycles. Temperatures during the last week were in the late 90’s, making it very uncomfortable for our kids to wear backpacks. Once again, thank goodness for the Dummies.
