Any mountain biker who rides with a child on a balance bike knows the problem: Rides with balance-bike kids often end up being shorter than planned. While the little ones ride with enthusiasm, hills and tired legs can quickly put an end to the fun. That’s why Kids Ride Shotgun is introducing the Uplift balance bike backpack. As the first backpack specifically designed for this purpose, it makes it easy to transport balance bikes.

The clip that started it all for today's downhill pro Jackson Goldstone: The toddler doesn't ride straight to school, but rocks and drops for all he's worth on his balance bike. Anyone who wants to encourage their offspring to do similar things can now get help from Kids Ride Shotgun: a trail-ready balance bike.

Riding the trails with the little ones is great fun. But anyone who has ever ridden with their child in the colder months knows how quickly little fingers can feel the cold. But now winter rides with the little ones are much more comfortable, because Kids Ride Shotgun has launched its new handlebar grips, the Pogies.
