I have just started letting my daughters ride on the back of my bike around the neighborhood. I wanted to get used to it as well as let them get used to being on a bike. Nothing too exciting, 25mph tops. but it sure did make for big smiles.

I think she'll be tearing up the streets herself soon. Well, just as soon as she can reach the pegs that is!

I'd be skeptical were it not for the pic.  I guess she's young enough to know what fun is and not too cool to show it. 
So does she reach the passenger pegs? scratcher

Oh yeah, she couldn't reach the pegs last season (on the scooter) and it was killing her. Once I got my NH she found that she could reach them and immediately wanted to go for a ride. I just wasn't ready for a passenger. After 4 months of riding almost every day & the safety course, I felt confident enough to do it.

Both my daughters squeal with delight when they are on the back of the bike. I couldn't get a picture of my eldest because she had to go inside and do homework. Oh well, there will be the next time!
