Kiddo’s first ride on her @prevelobikes.bsky.social Zulu Two was a success! She was zooming around the yard and learning to use the brakes in no time, we’ll be installing the pedals real soon #prevelo #morekidsonbikes #balancebike

I haven’t needed a trailer yet, the rack and panniers was fine for school runs in the fall. I did the frame swap to get the shorter seat tube so she sits lower, her helmet was up to my nose on the last bike

My kid’s stuff, lol. Helmet, snacks, backpack, school gear, her balance bike when she gets too tired to keep going.

I’m planning to use this bike for some light trail riding along with the kiddo, ideally I would have two sets of wheels optimized for pavement or dirt but I just put an axle mounted rack on the bike and that makes it kind of a pain to swap. I’ll have to look more into those for an all around option

I just looked them up, the Johnny Watts 365 actually looks more aggressive than the Extraterrestrials. How did you like them?

Faster rolling than knobbies on pavement, 2.5” volume gives great grip and cushion over rough stuff, sidewalls that laugh at potholes. For my use case they are doing a great job, only tradeoff is they are a bit heavy but I’ll take that over having to worry about flats with the kid on board.

I’m beginning to think the best road bike for New England roads is actually a mountain bike.

The #TransitionBikes Scout is ready for rad school runs thanks to #SurlyBikes Extraterrestrial tires, just waiting for the Old Man Mountain axle adapter so I can mount the rear rack. #mtb #mountainbike

Maybe not as low as I thought, or is it? Roadies chime in, is this too low?

Experimenting with a shorter fork and, yeah, I think it’s too short… even for riding on paved roads that’s too low for comfort. #bikesky #mtb #mountainbike

I know this season is only Spring of Deception but it was so nice out that I surprised my kid by picking her up from school on the new mountain bike. #bikesky #mountainbike #kidsrideshotgun #mtb

No joke, I had dinner tonight with family who haven’t lived in MA for a while and the first question they asked after we got the check was “which is the best ice cream shop around here?”. Not if there was one, not where the nearest one was, they knew to ask which one was best.
