Sat Jun 10, 2017 - Big Dummy cargo hauling Caleb and his bike to the school for him to ride

Loaded up the Dummy this afternoon as Caleb wanted to ride his bike and maybe have a shot without his stabilizers. Weather had improved greatly from this mornings rain.
As we are pretty rural and there is nowhere that is tarmac for him to practice on other than the singletrack road outside, we tend to head to his school and while it's a small school it does have a good size tarmac playground and a track road the building.
So Dummy was loaded with a pannier with bits and pieces and his bike was hooked into the U tubes that run down the side, perfect fit for the little 16 inch wheels. Then it just tows behind nicely.
He had a ball with me chasing him round and later his friend Joe joined us for a while. He had a good go without his stabilizers and while he most likely do it, he just lacks any confidence. So I don't push him, he'll get it when he gets it. Otherwise he flies round the place, but it just makes me nervous the speed he goes on those stabilizers :lol:
Anyway, that's a few hours today and hopefully tomorrow I will get a good few miles in. Though weather forecast was rubbish.
Hope it's a good one where ever you are.
