You may have helmet hair but I think that rocks! I’m trying to get my hubbie to buy me a beach cruiser with a basket on the front…We’ll see if my hints paid off for mother’s day. I love to see other mom’s getting their kids out. Take a peek at my site. It’s all about playing outside with kiddos!

We intend to get a bike trailer soon, but I’m in Oakland like Minnie and we’ve almost been hit several times just trying to use the crosswalk when we had the green light (and the right of way). Does the bright orange flag help with letting people know you’re there and are there other things you can do to make your presence known?

Which bike trailers are people’s favorites?

Robin, check with your pediatrician about how old a baby should be… I’m pretty sure they say over 12 months (with very good head control) but we’ve both done it as young as about 111/2 months.

Minnie, I know it’s pretty scary. Especially at first. I tend to stick to wide roads and if I get scared, I go slow on the sidewalk. Berkeley has some “bike boulevards” which make me feel pretty good.

Also, many people prefer the bike seat that you attach directly to your bike. I’ve heard pros and cons for both trailers and extra seats, but you should do what you’re most comfortable with.

We’re also thinking of getting a bike trailer to help make our bikes our main form of transportation. Can I ask how big baby needs to be to fit safely in the bike trailer? The guys at the local bike shop don’t know these kind of important details.
