Trikes and tandems

<< < (2/2)

John:
We cycle camp as a family with my six year old on a Thorn kiddyback tandem (the basic model). The ride is great even on fast descents which is the weak point of trikes in my experience. He fidgets no more than my wife and as he only weighs 22kgs has little impact on the handling. As Julien says, cranks one tenth of the childs height are a must. He is happy at 50-60 kms a day now but used to fall asleep after 20 km when he was three.
