Hi there,

Im returning to work soon and am thinking of dropping my toddlers to nursery by bike (nursery have agreed to keep the bike safe. The roads to nursery are fairly flat. Does anybody have any ideas about the safest way to travel with 2 children on the bike. Trailer or one of those bikes where the children sit in front? Does anybody have one of these bikes that they want to sell?

Kind Regards,

Monique

I have a ridgeback trailer which cost in the region of ???130-40 I bought it from Evans, I did try their steel construction trailer but it was quite heavy with 2 kids in so I opted for their aluminium trailer which was worth it and light as a feather, I could still take them out in it when they were 6 and 4 years old. The heaviness may not be such a concern if you are only going on flat roads for short journeys. Generally I felt really happy taking the trailer out I certainly noticed when cars came up behind me they gave me a wide berth and with a flag on the back felt car drivers saw me and the trailer. On busier roads I would go on the pavement if it looked nice and wide, but you generally get to know the best routes and where you feel safest. The trailers that go on the back of the bike- you can detach very easily and lock up for the day to save you having to take it out all day. Good luck on your search - it is a lovely way to get about! p.s have a look on ebay - they come up pretty often.

    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
