Hats off to all you SF bikey parents.  We salute you.

The tag-along

When the borrowed child is attached to your bike via a borrowed tag-along, you know where they are.  I assume that kids who’ve grown up in the City, have been a passenger on your bike, have been a tag-along kid, and then get their own bike have a sense of the streets and you feel more comfortable.  Riding behind Rich and Jenny on Fell Street on the way to the park I admit I was a bit worried.  All was fine, but I do wish our streets were more friendly to all cyclists.

Soon to pedal off on her own.

 The bike learning area on Waller at Stanyan is a great place to practice starts and stops and turning.  I know why parents cycle with their kids – it’s fun and a great way to get around.  And watching a child start to pedal on their own is an amazing feeling.  The next generation of happy cyclists is here.
