bike riding and BW - Page 2

post #21 of 22
I would, if I had a bike!(and a carry that I felt confident that DC was 100%secure and comfy(i.e. no squirming out) But then, I am confident in the way I ride. I don't go faster than what I am comfortable with, and I watch the ground and my surroundings very very carefully.

I second other posters that I will feel more comfy with DC on me, than strapped to the bike. I've fallen off once before(yes, only once in my teen-adult years, and I used to ride at least 6 miles every day) and it was not at all my fault. I was riding, and suddenly the chain jammed or something - still haven't figured out what happened, but I was thrown off the bike, and if I had had a child with me, he probably would have gotten hurt if strapped to the bike. If strapped to me, my 11mo would have been like "YAY! mommy, again! that was fun!" but I don't ride in the street, we don't have many people walking on the sidewalk here, but I don't know the laws here, I'm going to go look them up now, its interesting that one state specifically states that it is legal and one says the opposite! I wonder what my state says?
