How early can you get your child on a bike with you? What are the different ways you can carry your kids or ride with them? Is a cargo  bike better than a trailer? Can you really manage the school, work, store and extracurricular point-to-point by bike?
In this workshop, Ecology Action staff will guide you through the many options for family biking. Topics include: gear, family testimonials and riding through developmental stages, as well as recommendations for how to make riding with kids fun, safe and convenient.
