Cycle 2008 is back in London on 10 - 12 October at Earls Court.
I always imagined I would be that cycle riding mum with flowing hair and a child on the back, and maybe one on the front as well. I soon realised I am not Dutch and it doesn’t work like that here.
I went to the Cycle Show last year in hopes of getting a little bit closer to my dream. What I didn’t expect was that it would be me and a bunch of 50-year-old men at the show. It was foolish of me not to, considering the amount of titanium and carbon located in one place with expensive price tags.
Still, there were a few exhibitors with family-aimed products such as various child seats and tag alongs as well as some cool three-wheeled bikes with clever ways to transport children.
I will try to go again this year to see what’s on offer for the mother with children. Less titanium, more seats, I hope.
