Hi Frank
There are some really fine pythons out there, so thanks for the complement!
You mean a christiania-a-like bike? Such a bike is fine for Town, but
not practical for long distances (I have 10kms to Town).
It is not really clear to me, but I think you insinuate there is a
safety issue with the bike ;-) It doesn't matter if you didn't, I
wanted to post something about that anyway. Safety issues are usually
very high on the priority list of any parent ---and concretely it
concerns me because I am the one responsible for my son _and_ riding
this bike.
Here is bicylce called the "bakfiets" (it was an inspiration for my bike):
http://babyccinokids.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/bakfiets4.jpg .
These kids sit much higher--- my son sits at 15cm height. I do not think
the pythoon is more dangerous than a bakfiets (not taking into account
the speed difference; but OTOH speed is in my own hands).
And I am sure that it is much safer then (e.g):
http://www.testberichte.de/test/produkt_tests_hamax_plus_kindersitz_p125686.html
We own this child seat. There is nothing wrong with the seat, it is a
good product, just like the test says. Only, the bike gets unstable
because of bad weight distribution. And height of the child is even
worse. How can the test result on that page really say "very good"?
What I think isn't good with the current state of the pythoon is:
* box is not closed in bottom and sides
* seat must be enlarged so he gets a head rest
* find a helmet for him that fits - a good bombshell-helmet.
I get a lot of responses (probably will wear of when everybody in Odense
has finally seen me ;-) ), mostly positive (also of mothers!!). I had
some negative, but up to now they were only concerning the regular
"disadvantages" of a recumbent (i.e. recumbert=invisible).
groeten, Dirk
