  • I found myself in a situation where I have to transport a child and his bike every morning to daycare. This is a solution I came up with during the weekend.

    1. Lift the front wheel to the support hook
    2. Tighten straps, weight is now on the straps/rack, not the support.
    3. Ride.

    Based on the first try this morning it seems to work rather well. Bike stays where it should and doesn't move or make any noises. 3-point turns are most likely a pain. Will I die if I keep using this or should I change something?

  • Front box use not an option? If not a FollowMe could be an easier option for everyday use.

  • Front box worked with a 12" bike, with a 4-year-old and a 16" bike there's just not enough room especially in the winter with a cover on. The cover also makes strapping the bike to the side of the box a bit challenging.

    FollowMe tandem seems a bit much for this use case, the bike is only hanging there a part of the way, the most practical commercial solution I've seen is the Bakkie bag https://bakkiecycles.fr/en.

    I guess I'll try the current solution for a while and hopefully adjust and develop a bit at some point.
