the safety tips to carry a kid in bicycling?

Answer
A kid seat on the back of your bicycle is legal in California and a helmet is required. However, I strongly recommend against those seats. They make your bike top heavy and if you fall, your child falls with you. Your best bet is to buy a trailer to attach to your bike. They have roll cages and if your bike falls over, the trailer hitch has a pivot attachment which keeps the trailer upright. Also, if the trailer does happen to fall over, the roll cage (and helmet) will protect the child. Yes, trailers cost quite a bit more but ask yourself: Are you willing to sacrifice your child's life to save money?

How to install pyramid bike dog leash?

ellieinthe

uh, i bought it off ebay and i am puzzled as how to install the thing, all i got was a long metal piece with a velco thingy on one end and a leash thing on the other. Please help me!

Answer
Jeepers, I'm a cyclist and I've never heard of this.
Here's a picture of one at Amazon:

It looks to me like the velcro at one end wraps around the chain stay near the drop outs. Doesn't appear to be the safest nor most secure way to tote a dog around, if you ask me.

Do be very careful. Wear a helmet, proper cycling glasses, gloves..... there there to save your skin and your life...and believe me they're not fashion statements nor something to sneeze at. Go easy and take your dog on routes where you know it's safe and distractions are at a minimum.
