Going to look at a couple bike shops today probably and see what they have for more comfort.

Dunno of any compact trailer, what I did for my first son was install one of those plastic molded booster seat in my Chariot trailer (for two) & used straps to secure it.....worked like a charm.

Looks like you did your homework and got some nice bikes there.

Well done and I hope you enjoy them.

Thank you very much, snow 's all melted & i finally had a chance to go for longer rides (40km) the last couple of days. It was a very comfortable ride, there was no soreness in my wrists, shoulders or back.........I'm a believer in these comfort bikes.

Are these just conventional tubes/tires that have slime installed - or special heavy duty?

No to the latter, they are not run flat tires.....not even sure if they make 'em for bikes yet.

Anyway, the slime supposedly seals the puncture before any loss of air occurs, the dealer said it will work for a lot of years but like alot of things it will eventually degrade & will need to be replaced.

Good luck on your bike hunting, hopefully you can get a decent trade in for your old bikes.

Slime works awesome. I had it in my mountain bike while biking when I lived in Idaho and when I got home there were atleast 40+ of these hard as steel thorns in the tire and I was over 30 miles from home when I got them. No air loss and made it home just fine. I had to pull them out with pliers. So its a lifesaver to say the least. Of course always have an extra tube and tools.

Some pics of recent bike trip with the boys to a nearby lake stocked with fish for cath n release fishing.

The trail to the lake.

I use a Chariot trailer to haul fishing gear, chairs, snacks & other toys.

At the lake:

Borg, nice pictures. I really like the idea of using bike trailer as storage carrier. When my two little girls gets a little older (3 yrs and 1 yrs old now), I will use my Burley the same way.
