How do you transport your kids bike with you?

[Nacho Bikes]

We are at the point where our 5 year old wants to ride everywhere and then suddenly doesn’t. So we have to end up having to strap it down to our front rack. How are you currently handling this and transport your child and their bike to and from?

Anyone carrying there’s like the yellow bakfiets?

I have been carrying my littles 16" bike vertically with an old Yakima down tube rack that I chopped down for length. I got really lucky in the rack mounted without too much fuss to the kid corral and bottom tube of the Big Dummys frame.

It's worked okay, but think it's maxed out what it can take without significant configuration change.

Aside from the clever DIY solutions, there is an over the top one as seen here:

Connect - Bike Stand

The Hangar Connect - The world is your bike repair stand! Whether it’s using a tent pole, van ladder, street sign, bicycle repair stand, or another stable structure the Hangar Connect can be used for bicycle storage, portable maintenance, bike cleaning, or bicycle display. Great for van life and...

I suppose you could clamp one end to your bike and the other to the kid's bike. I currently have a MC which has a built-in footrest based solution to strap down the front wheel of the kid's bike.

I use bungees to attach it to my rear rack and let the other wheel roll behind me. There's also this bag, which is super neat: https://bunchbike.com/en-ca/product...MF0XAM89fe9YvUY98eXrfwtniT-ZVhbO-XQktG0RLKKCs

I've seen the Bakkie bag, there is also the Arkel version which looks less capable, but also the Red Rebane easy exo which seems to be the most versatile. But those all carry a price point in the triple digits and that to me is just too damn high

That is kind of where I landed as well - so now I just use some bungees on my rear rack and it's...fine.
