    I’ve got the decadent trailer. Can’t put two seats on a bike. The kids love it but want to ride their own bikes now.

    I love taking them around in it as well. It’s great because they can see out of it better than a car and we can go places cars can’t.

    They’re getting bigger now. Whilst I’d love a front loading cargo bike, a rear seater like a Tern would be relevant for longer and more practical. I’m going to see if I could lease one through work instead of playing outright.

      If you aren’t already familiar with them, also consider using https://upway.co/. They sell dealer overstock and lightly used bikes at a big discount with a one year warranty. I got my commuter bike through them and it was as convenient as ordering directly from Aventon. It sucks that none of my local bike shops offer 0% APR payment plans, especially for the high-end models where you’re buying reliability. Upway is the only financially viable alternative to renting for me.
