I bought a child seat for my bike and it's the best thing I've ever done...

...well, almost. But ah, the freedom!

And ME actually doing EXERCISE during the DAY.

And my DS loves it.

It's such a laugh.

Just wanted to share the joy.

they are very popular where I live, also children's carts to go at the back of the bike.

I want to get a bike with a eat for DS3. How do you steady the bike while you put the child in? Do you have to have a stand or can you lean it on a wall?!

RIVEN- LOL! It certainly is hard getting my leg over! Not the most elegant thing I've ever done, but I reckon eventually my legs will get more flexible and I'll skip onto it in a jiffy.

Tommy- I was worried about that too, but it's much easier than I thought as it happens. I have railings outside the house that I can lean the bike against, but I've also used a bike rack which was fine too. I have used the kitchen wall which worked. Don't know about a stand. It's much less wobbly than you might think!

dd has graduated to a tagalong. she now helps me up the hills!

she is fantastic!

amazing!

How long have you had your seat?

I recently started the gym, but cannot manage to keep it up all the time.

I think it would be fun for dd and I to go cycling, she is 20months. Do you just use your bike as your form of travel? I use my car, but would love to cycle and loose weight.

I have not even got a bike and think I would be scaredgoing on the road. Do you have to go on the road?

I've been using a trailer for dd (2.6) but our bike seat arrived this morning and I love it.

It's nowhere near as wobbly as I'd imagined
