I just got my son his first bike with multiple gears in the hopes he could go on longer rides with me. So far it works mostly. He can go on longer rides with me. However, compared to my just cruising along speed he is painfully slow, through no fault of his own. I still love going with him but if I ride at his top speed my heart rate barely goes above resting.
Does anyone know of a device, frictional or otherwise, that increases cycling difficulty when riding with kids. It would be fantastic if I could pedal at 250 or 300 watts and be going the same speed as him
. I don't often have enough time to do conditioning riding and family riding. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance!!
Jon
