Revolutionary DH Training System

As the father of 2 wonderful children, aged 2 and 4, I have grown weary of responding to the usual "with a family, how do you find time to ride?" questions. Even with young children, riding is something that is very easy to find time for. I am lucky enough to live relatively close to work, and a bike ride in only adds 10-15 minutes to my commute. What I did find difficult was including my kids in the rides. A 4 year old's pace isn't much more than walking speed and getting in any cardio workout while riding together is next to impossible.
When Hannah was born I purchased a Chariot Carrier to use as a bike trailer and off road stroller. It worked great in both roles until my bikes had disc brakes, when it retired to the stroller set. The older style "hitch" wouldn't fit around the brakes. After 2 years of waiting, Calgary based Chariot has come out with an alternative hitch that works with disc brake equipped bikes. Since putting one on last month, My wife and I have taken the kids all over town and every ride is sure to be a physical challenge. Try riding a 47 pound bike towing a 20 pound trailer and another 80 pounds of kids and "stuff". The kids love riding in the trailer, and the safety and comfort provided by the Chariot is second to none (don't ask me how I know this).
