I have a very newbie question, apologies if it was answered earlier, I didn't wade through all of the pages.
I've become more interested in buying a bike since the bike lanes were developed (I live in Beltline, the 12th Ave one runs very close to my place), but the only thing that is stopping me from commuting to work via bike is that I need to bring my daughter into and home from her daycare downtown. The bike cage at my work can't hold a chariot, nor would it be feasible to store in our condo. does anyone know if there are any on-bike seats that are okay for toddlers? She's 3 1/2, just shy of 30 lbs. Are there some bikes that these seats work on and not others?
I'd likely be wanting to buy a city bike, but not a cruiser - I want it to be fairly lightweight. I used to own a Marin Bolinas Ridge 18 speed until it got stolen about six years ago - I loved that bike, and would love something similar to it again. I bought it 15 years ago, so I can only imagine what kind of improvements have been made to bikes since then.
Thanks for any advice!
