Biking with kids and groceries
Jane Healy and Cigdem Tunar shared their experiences on biking with kids to groceries on June 2006. Rules and safety issues highlighted along with a power point presentation. On this picture Jane is describing the items on her trailer she houls her kids to shopping-school-dry cleaner with her bike. It is approximately 100 Lbs. when filled with kids and their "stuff" she says. You can never have enough blinky and flags on a trailer she ads.
