Wipe away the Monday blues with a brand new edit from Danny MacAskill. This one has apparently been a passion project for Danny and Stu Thomson, made during the downtime of their other projects, to celebrate ten years of working together.
Danny turns his hand to babysitting Stu's daughter and revisits some of his most famous video locations with her in tow... literally.
| In his latest film Danny MacAskill takes on some child care the only way he knows how... by taking them for a bike ride!
No children were involved in any stunts during the making of Danny Daycare! |

But I never saw anybody trying to do a backflip with it.
Nevertheless, it is the best kids trialer ever build!

For me the drawback is the (heavy) frontweel to be carried. We decided to use the follow-me (family-cycling.com/93r5Wql5-familycycling-english/followme-function). So the kids can use their usual bike and if needed you can attach them to your bike.
1. Knee-out pedaling it forces which causes achy knees on long climbs (30min +).
2. I drip sweat all over my daughter, which she doesn't like.
3. You can't brake hard or suddenly or you will send your new best riding buddy over the bars. As long as you're gradual, totally fine even on super steep stuff. (But we've had some close calls)
4. Definitely been uppercut by the sudden standing up of my daighter.
5. Age 4-5 they really start getting to big to fit in the cockpit (see number 1) and too heavy to pedal around as dead weight. Which is where the TT Streamliner shines.
My knees hurt just looking at the Mac Ride but the giggles are worth the pain!
I love the Mac Ride, but i cannot pedal too far with it with my lil one

ha ha ha… I had a Trail A Bike for a while when my triplet boys were young. Took one them off road on a trail I used to frequent -- learned the hard way, you cant bunny hop well with a Trail A Bike.... Joey went SUPERMAN on me.
you also cant get up over curbs well with a tandem... still have teeth marks on my back when I tried getting up over a curb with the wife on the back seat of our Burley tandem.
I guess it depends on the tandem. Mine has 170 up front and 160 in the rear. It handles plowing into and through, pretty much everything.

Ok, I'm heavy....... but I'm clean ! :-)
My sons are just jealous...
She is on the 20" wheel Islabike Bein now - they are just the best kids bikes out there, without spending crazy money.
Thanks! Can't get those in the US anymore. Just bought my daughter (5 yrs) the Spawn Yoji 16. Not cheap but it took her all of 3 minutes to say "I can do it. I don't need help." She tooled around on a balance bike (Wishbone) for 2 years. My younger son (3.5 yrs) has a Strider 12 sport and doesn't like it as much as the wishbone. I think it's just because he watched his big sis have a lot of fun on the Wishbone.
A light bike with a freewheel and handbrakes makes learning sooooo much easier for kids.
The Isla bike CNOC is about 5.5kg and everything on it is like a scaled down in size, but quality version of a full size component. So they can reach brake levers properly, the seat is built for small backsides, pedals the right width and even the right distance apart. Isla Rowntree was a Cyclocross champion who couldn't find good quality bikes for her kids so decided to build her own.
We have the same issues in Oz with shipping. They did have a US shipping option a while back but maybe DT's import taxes have killed that? Fortunately we have UK visitors who just bring them out when they come over.
The only downside is the kids grow out of them very quickly - fortunately the resale value is good. I have mine lined up for my riding buddies who have daughters a year or two behind mine so they are winning all the way...
For all the expense, nothing is better than watching your kid ride off on a bike they just sat on for the first time two seconds ago, having never pedalled a bike before. Proudest moment as a Dad by far!
This was 5 minutes later...

Perfect conditions, never back-flipped
