TOTally Working for Me ~ Tot Biking



Over the past seven or so years my husband and I have practically broken our back pushing tricycles around the block while we were waiting for our kids to learn how to pedal. While we know there are tricycles that have wonderful handles, we already had one and couldn't justify the extra money to buy a new one ~ just for the handle.

The question is why it took us so long to figure out how to have a fun bike ride without the backache. Apparently we needed a seven-year-old to help us out with her handy jumprope.


We tied the jumprope around the front of the handle and that way Kaleb can still help with the steering. We're able to pull him along while our other three ride around on their bikes. And Kaleb loves it!

We just wish we would have figured it out years ago.

Do you have something that is working for you and your tot? We'd love to hear about it!

Oh my...gonna tie a rope to the trike today for sure. I had a hard time getting around this morning with the sore back from helping Caitlin on her trike yesterday. Thanks for the idea!!!!
