We now live on the Swamp Rabbit trail and just bought a double Weehoo trailer for the 3 and 1.5 yo. We have an absurd collection of older bikes but somehow are here on one of the best paved ubran paths in the country without a suitable bike for my wife to tow the kids (I'm sure I'll be towing them mostly but she is theoretically excited about it, especially at 4pm when they're being megaturds.)
anyway, I'm tired of buying used bikes--too much time and hassle, especially for this purchase and in "this day and age."
Anyone have any recs? REI has this one for $600 and we get the membership dividend. Free year of service. I like the step through for wife (no pics) because she isn't the most confident rider and is pretty short.

I skipped my 3-mile run today. I plan to do a hard hour on the trainer tomorrow. Hopefully I won't be as sore as I was this morning.

Have you ever pulled a trailer with kids in it before? I did that once when my oldest were 6 and 1, and it wasn't that fun. And while I'm not a big guy, I had been cycling a good bit at the time and was in pretty decent shape, and it wasn't super easy to get going and especially stop. The one you linked has disc brakes front and rear so that will help. We were at a resort just going out for a ride on one of their bikes and the weight on the back made it feel like a gradual incline the whole time I was riding, which leads me to think that a woman who isn't the most confident rider might have trouble with it. That being said, the bike looks ideal for something like that, and will be a good one far beyond when you'd be towing kids.
