Believe me, I'd have to work up to it. And NOT in the winter! I used to ride a lot BC (before children!) My kids are finally old enough to ride more than a mile. My oldest son and I started riding together a bit this summer. I'm hoping for more next year. Pulling the bike trailer gets hard when you've got 2 in there. Now, I'm down to 1 rider. They sure grow up fast!
