Our Madsen arrived from Practical Cycles just before Christmas. It looks lovely, and having been using the De FietsFabriek 995 and the BSP Motherbike to haul Seth about, I am looking forward to getting the Madsen set up for Seth and Eli. I was pretty sad to sell the De FietsFabriek 995, but only being 5ft 2 it just wasn't working for me and didn't feel safe taking kids on if I couldn't reach the ground. So my first 'woohoo' is that even with a squishy seat on the Madsen, my feet can reach the ground. Watch this space for how well a car seat fits into the Madsen, our lovely homemade hood, and the lights we set up. Oh, and the reason we call it a dog bike? Check out this great video for an explanation; our 4 year old loves it!
I'm a stay at home mum of 2 boys and we spend most of our time having adventures. We are bike crazy and have 2 cargo bikes; a Bakfiets and a Madsen. We did have a De FietsFabriek 995 but being only 5ft and a little bit I didn't fit it. Our biggest boy learnt to ride his Islabike last autumn so we are looking forward to a summer of cycling.
