The quesstion I have for you to consider is this: how long will the Buddy Bike be a viable option for your child(ren)? Do you really want to invest the $$ for something that may have a short life? As soon as they are tall enough, you won't be able to see over their heads to steer.

The rear steering also seems a little nerve-wracking to me - like it would take a lot of effort to guage from the back how early you needed to turn the bars to make the bike turn...

I don't have kids, but we do have a couple of tandems, and 50 lbs seems like A LOT of weight to heft. Our MTB tandem didn't weigh that much! Sarah's tandem solution seems to be much more sound.


Just my $0.02.
