I guess my biggest concern is safety with my baby girl riding along. My wife and I want to get back into riding our bikes (Raleigh's) and would like to be able to take are baby daughter along. I feel very uneasy about this and any suggestions on the right/wrong/not at all ways of doing this would be appreciated. Our little girl is only 3 mos. old so it will be a while before I even attempt to include her on our rides. Dealing with traffic is everybody's major concern while riding (I presume) so if you have some good pointers about that I would again appreciate it very much. The roads in our immediate area do not have any type of paved shoulder to speak of plus they are two lane. Kind of a tight squeeze. I would like to add that I really enjoy reading this news group and would like to see all the articles pertaining to bicycling stay in one group. so long Dave
