I saw on another post the the pvc pipe frame you added to the xtracycle to tote your kids along. I am not that handy and wanted to see if you know of anyone that might make the pvc part and put on my xtracycle, I am happy to by the parts. Thanks ~kj Hi, Elliott.

I couldn't be happier or more excited. I don't think she's going to have any trouble at all getting on board with this "new" mode of transportation. Our first goal is to get comfortable enough that we can pedal to a kids' fair at a local metropark this Saturday (about 3 or 4 miles each direction). I'm betting we'll be there with bells on. We're still a long way from bolting on Xtracycle conversion kits and making for the grocery store with the entire family in tow, but we'll get there.
