With the Isla beinn 20 small, can you fit on a standard basket on the front? Small child would like a wooden basket to put snacks and his teddy in

? can’t help with that one sorry!

I wasn’t sure how popular that would be He was pretty keen on a wooden one so I found this, not too expensive if it doesn’t fit!

That will give you time to make your own wicker basket for the front ?

60km yesterday. Started using clip in pedals a few weeks back and had one at the wrong angle (foot not straight) and tweaked a muscle in my knee.
Now can go quickly and comfortably for 30km no problem but beyond that the pain In my knee comes back. Is it likely it still isn’t set up right or a case of too much too soon.

Would take it to a bike shop for them to check out but hesitant in current climate

I’m only a beginner so not a clue to your answer but I just wanted to say well done I got clip ins, practised loads on my turbo and then when I did go out, fell off 3 times, broke my bike and then had to leave it in a hedge and run home

I’ve had a couple of falls (both at very slow pace ?) but most of the time feel a lot more secure in the clip ins

Well done for persevering though, I went back to trainers

I wouldn’t like to suggest something that could make you worse. I think a proper bike fit when things are getting better may help get everything right for you.

It’s arrived

This bike is insane! First lap of the lane he was terrified as it’s double the size of his fireman Sam one, 2nd lap more confident and then by the 3rd he asked to learn about the gears. We’ve now just come back from a 6 mile ride ?

That’s good to hear ? Just needs a basket on the front to finish it off ?

He’s raving the basket hasn’t arrived yet On a plus note, they installed the kickstand and bottle cage before I got the bike he’s just managed 8 miles?

Just needs some cut into plastic retangular strips cut of the old fairy liquid squezee bottle and taped on the back wheel arm opposite side of the cog ...to flap against the wheel spokes for a motor bike sound , that's what we used to do anyway...

I'll get my coat

I’ve just read that shielding groups can now exercise outside ?? no more just running around fields!
