• 5 Wild Ways to Bike with Kids

  OK, I believe that if we left our cars at home, we collectively would be a healthier, greener nation, but the main reason I’m sharing this list of frickin’ sweet bikes is that they look like sooo much fun. Don’t worry about the kids keeping up or how they’ll deal with traffic: co-ride on these bicycles built for two (or more). Read More...

• Easy Riding on the Angeles Silver Rider Supercycle

• Kick Off Spring With the Kettler Sprint Frog Training Bicycle

  OK, it’s not even close to spring, but we have some unseasonably warm weather this week. Faux-spring or not, I’m already sizing up who needs bigger bikes and whatnot.

• A Different Kind Of Training Bicycle: The KinderBike

  Forget training wheels, start your preschooler off with a KinderBike. The bikes have no pedals or training wheels and are intended for kids to just use their feet to push themselves around and glide. They weigh 8.5 lbs and are made of... Read More...

• The Family Who Bikes Together Needs an Adams Trail-a-Bike

  The leap from trike to bike is a big one. There’s the balancing, the stopping, and the super-challenging one: keeping up with the parents. As a parent, it can be incredibly hard to ride slowly enough to stay near a kid on a bike. Then there’s the worry that the wee cyclists won’t stop where and when they’ll need to. If you really want to ride a bike with your kids rather than watch them ride, think about an Adams Trail-a-Bike. Read More...

• The Babble Review: Soft Buggy Cup from Think King

  Honestly, what's more American than a cup holder? Some strollers come with cup holders, and others (like my un-American Bubagoo Frog) don't. The Soft Buggy Cup from Think King is a portable cup holder that you can use for much more than beverages in many more places than your stroller. But it works pretty well holding your drink while you're at the mall with the kids too. My full review is after the jump. Read More...

• Vroom Vroom - the BMW Trike That Looks Fierce

  I missed the 7 Days of Bikes & Trikes by a week but this trike is so killer I had to feature it. During my brief professional stint on the West Coast, I never loved the on-ramp to the 405, I never loved sitting in traffic on the 101 at rush hour or the looky-loo's that would slow down to get better views at car crashes. But what I did come to love was BMW bikes and roadsters... especially that hypnotic BMW royal blue. Read More...

• Pimp My Trike with a Kettler Bell

  OK, so maybe the Kettler Red Metal Bell isn’t exactly pimptastic, but it is a nice touch for any cycle, be it tri-, bi- or recommended in our 7 Days of Tricycles and Bicycles. In theory, or maybe in just a more grown-up context, a bell alerts other cyclists, pedestrians or joggers that you’re about to pass them. In practice, a bell on a kids’ bike is to unleash a ring-a-ding-ding of music like you’re never heard before, save for that Blue Oyster Cult song. Available at Amazon for $5.99.  Posted Jul 11 2008, 12:46 PM by Heather Kuldell with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: bikes, tricycles, bicycles, trikes

• 7 Days of Tricycles and Bicycles: Xtracycle PeaPod

  The Xtracycle PeaPod is really for parents’ bikes, but wow, what a child seat! The PeaPod is one possible component of Xtracycle, which is a kit that converts your 26-inch or 700c bikes into what the company calls a “sport-utility bike.” If you’re a bike commuter, or someone who’s trying to figure out how to bike around town while hauling kids, an Xtracycle might do the trick.

• 7 Days of Tricycles and Bicycles: Hang on, Sloopy!

  Now that I've got the attention of OSU alumni, check out this tricycle! Created by Kettler, originators of the much-loved Air Navigator Tricycle (which functions kind of like placing your kid on a rolling suitcase that you can drag or push), this nifty bike - the Kettler Sloopy Kettrike Tricycle - is designed for speed demons aged three and up.  Read More...

• Ceci N'est Pas Une Bicycle... Yet

  Attention, IKEA or other budget-minded retailer of modern lifestyle accessories: If architect Andrew Maynard gets his wish, you'll one day soon be distributing full, working kits of his OLC (stands for "One Less Car") concept bicycle. After the jump, you tell us: Would you let your kids ride a $35 plywood bike? Read More...

• When You Care Enough to Buy the Very Overpriced: Neiman Marcus Ferrari Bicycle

  The list of features on this very special bike starts out by boasting "Genuine Ferrari color." (Genuine Ferrari color: When plain ol' red just won't do.) Ummmm... yeah. It has other -- equally exciting, truly -- features that make this 16" bike worthy of the Ferrari label and $350 price tag, and you can get yours from Neiman Marcus. Pathological need to overspend in lieu of paying attention to your kid sold separately.
