As a dad these I am excited to share my passions with my kids.  And as a husband to a profoundly busy surgery resident I basically *had* to, because it was just me and the little dude on the weekends.

After outgrowing his front-mount kiddie seat, it was time to build a rig that could let my co-pilot really experience riding the trails by sharing the bars, standing on pedals, and sitting on a seat.

Cro-mo steel is custom-lugged into a highly adjustable, quick-mountable mini frame.  Pedals are mounted onto extenders fillet-brazed into modified dirt fork lugs.

The end results are just the best.  Whipping around loamy singletrack in the redwoods with a giggling 3 year old is basically my favorite weekend activity.  We practice weight position and steering dynamics, plus my navigator mans the passing bell while I manage the rock gardens.

Plus it makes everybody we see on trail super happy too.  Truly, everybody loves a happy little grom rocking full goggles, dinging his bell, and yelling “Wheeeee!  Thank you!” when passing in the corners.  One time we passed group of bros on a climb out of Skeggs and it shocked one guy so much he fell over.  “Daddy, why he fall down?”

It really is the best.
