Sidecar Rides For Kids

I like riding, and I like sharing that joy with others. For the last couple years, I have been fortunate to do both at a local, annual block party giving sidecar rides to kids.

You can see Rick's FJ sidecar above with my super shiny Ural in the back. There were dozens of kids lined up for their turn to "ride on a motorcycle."

It was a fun event. With most of the kids laughing and having a good time. I especially appreciated the parents who took the time to say thank you.

Sidecar Rides for Kids 2013


  1. That is awesomeness. Wish there had been someone like you in my neighbourhood when I was growing up.

  2. Were the rides done on a closed course or on public streets? It looks like a great opportunity for the kids. And that FJ rig looks phenomenal. Does the sidecar wheel steer?

    1. Some closed and some quiet neighborhood streets across the parking lot. It was a lot of fun. Didn't get out of 2nd gear.

      The FJ rig is lots of fun and it is for sale... the sidecar wheel doesn't steer.

  3. You're so good to do this for the kids. I bet they had so much fun - and so did you.
