Realizing the Dream - Highlights of the Story

About 15 years ago, a father tried to take his young son with him on a bicycle outing. He bought a bicycle child carrier for the back of his bike, put the child in, and pedalled off. Half an hour later the child was screaming. The child, once removed from the bicycle, refused to go back in the carrier! Father carried home the child, pushed home the bike, and concluded there must be a better way.

So begins the story of Malcolm Jefferson's quest; a quest for the perfect bicycle carrier that would take 15 years and take him on an emotional roller coaster ride. Being a carpenter by trade, he quickly created a wooden child carrier that could be mounted in front of the rider, over the bicycle's center of gravity. His son loved it. So did everyone else who saw it.
