I did both nursery runs with the bike and trailer today. Small girl is sporting a bump on her forehead and matching grazed knees. From falling over at nursery. Which says just a little bit about the relative risk of riding in a trailer versus being at nursery, I think.

I do however have to have a look at the mounting on the comfort bike. It has never felt as secure (in my head) as the one on the Spesh, even after I got Mr Hebe to double-check it, and when we were nearly home things started feeling not quite right and it turned out that the rear wheel quick release skewer was working loose, possibly helped by the trailer safety retaining strap which had worked its way under the quick release lever. I always try to wrap it so that that can't happen, but clearly didn't manage that today. If it's not a quick fix tonight then I'll take the mounting off that bike until I can talk to the LBS to sort it out. I'm wondering if that bike needs a longer quick release skewer. Lesson learned with trusting instincts however, I'll be sticking to the Spesh and double checking the mounting itself as well as the clips and straps and tyres before each ride.
