Hi
I am thinking of getting a Giant Halfwheeler 7 for my (quite tall for
his age) 4 1/2 year old son. He can ride well (he's been off of
stabilisers for well over a year), but I am hope the halfwheeler would
enable us to go on longer rides Has anyone any experience with one of
these? I am concerned about size, and whether it's worth getting the 7
speed version as opposed to the single speed. My LBS will only get one
in if I'm going to buy it, so we haven't been able to try one out. From
the specs I have seen they appear to be pretty heavy - somewhere around
21 lbs - quite a bit for half a child's bike! Is it possible to ride a
bike with one of these attached, but no child on it? If so I could
cycle around to pick up my son from school. Also, up to what age might
this be usable? From the pictures I have seen, they attach to the seat
pin. Does this cause any damage to the pin?
Any info appreciated,
Mark
