should kids race dirt bike?

Trevor H

Answer
That would depend on what sort of commitment the parent is prepared to make in the sport. I know I sometimes wonder if we should have let our children get involved due to the cost and also the injuries. The sport is great fun and something for kids to do that doesn't involve staring at a computer screen for hours on end. But if your child ends up wanting to take the sport to a higher level then it becomes very expensive.
All the young children that I know of over the years that have been involved in the sport just love it. Some stay involved all their lives and others find other interests.
But as long as the right safety gear is used then there is no reason why small kids should not race. Some of them are more competitive than the adults.

How do child carrier seats attach to bikes?

Q. I've never messed with a toddler carrier seat, but I may have need of it soon. I have three bikes, but the one I think best suited to a child carrier is my Global Carmel which is a nice 3 speed I'm going to call it a townie, but it really describes a proper definition.

I'm looking for one of the standard mount behind the rider setups, not a trailer to drag. That bike has lots of braze-ons that I think are meant for rear racks and some for fenders I guess that I don't use. Does anyone have recommendations or at least a solid "Yeah one should work on your goofy bike because?"

(My other two bikes are a 24" and 26" BMX so I'm leaving those out of this for now)
(defies a proper definition, doh!)

Answer
You'll need a rear rack - and a rear rack strong enough to bolt on a child's seat. Check with your local bike shop.

However...if you were to go to my local bike shop, the owner would talk you out of it. He has a good phrase for so-called "Child Safety Seats". His term is "Post Natal Abortion". I don't like them, never have, never will. The bike becomes top heavy, prone to falling over, with your child strapped in & no way to escape. Tow behind trailers are MUCH safer - period.
