Two kids on the bike. Trailer or Surly Big Dummy / kona UTE ? – Page 2 – Bike Forum

Hi folks, I have two small children and I'd like to get out and about with them on the bike. The most obvious, and cheapest solution is a trailer, but I get the impression it'll be awkward for certain maneuvers and I don't think I'd feel too confident on the road with it. The other option I've seen is a kona Ute or Surly Big Dummy with two kids seats on the back. Much more expensive, but is it much better? I know this might be borderline obscure but I thought I'd throw it out there. Both kids are under two btw.

I have a Kona Minute and have to say it is brilliant. IT has a hamax seat fitted to the back instead of the deck. It really is a useful bike. I commute every day on it and at the weekend get out with the little un. Fast as a road bike but solid and stable for carrying loads.

Another approach is to use a tandem with child seats. Eg:

It just so happens that I need to move this bike on to make space in the garage, if anybody's interested... 🙂

There are lots of different seats that will work on the Yuba (give Rob at Really useful bikes a call)
The Polisport Guppy is particularly good as the they can be removed and refitted very easily in under 5 mins
