  Awful news. One of the greats of the forum, whose posts I always enjoyed reading. Rest In Peace.

  Haven't bought one in a while but they used to be x11.

  Rab update: bought the Cinder Downpour, sent them back and got the Cinder Kinetic instead. Fit is spot on and the fabric feels very nice. Nice bike-specific touches too, like the reinforcement where the trousers would contact the chain. Had a few commutes in the rain and they performed as well as one can expect from PFAS-free fabric. So all in all a very good purchase.

  That's quite the ride. Should be in a museum of some sort.

  A great addition to the tandem (if you still have it).

  Junior is 5 and still fits on a Yepp , and as I removed the seat's feet to fit it forward, leg length isn't an issue.
  The backrest fits even an adult facing forward, ideally paired with the extender bar and its cover.
  Canopies are handy for sure but as a car-free family we've managed daily riding in all sorts of weather (it's not like Denmark is warm or dry) without one so far. This last sentence was sponsored by Reima of Finland.

  OK, I'll bite. That pic is ancient (as you know full well),now there's the option to fit a regular child seat up front if wanted. Saying so having the legs stretched facing forward is a pretty popular option, it's like a chaise longue.

  Passive safety is one thing, but it's easier to get out of trouble in traffic to start with on a 20kg maneuvrable bike VS a 2.5m long anvil. And it's still way safer than a seat at the back of a regular bike regardless.

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

  Second one as a second 20", I haven't got one to start with.

  Yet.
