This is why I love the tag-a-long bikes. Last summer DD was almost 4 and it was her first year on a tag-a-long. We did bike rides as far as 10 miles. She mostly coasted and let me do all the work. But I imagine as she gets older she'll help pedal more. Usually we stopped at a playground mid-ride.

When the weather is nice, I like to pick the kids up from daycare on the bikes too. We have the "train" now with my bike towing the tag-a-long and that towing the burley solo. It is also only about 1/2 mile loop for us. I usually coax DD into a longer ride by suggesting we bike past the High School to see if the cheerleaders are practicing

Sometimes we go on rides and DD rides her own bike. It's stop and go, very slow and frustrating. But it's good for her. We've even tried letting her ride her bike while we run. That's been so-so, but it will get better.
