Man, the MacRide was so much fun. We did it with both kids, but both are now too tall. MacRide discussions are the best: "Dad, it felt like were were flying!""Why can't we catch THAT guy?" "We're going soooo slow." "WOOOHOOOO!"
The next piece of equipment in your progression (depending on your trails, I guess) is a Towhee or similar bungee/leash setup for when they're on pedals, but not quite strong enough to do much uphill. We have a few nice mostly-downhill flow trails with low-traffic road access for the climb so you can tow the kid up. You get your workout, and the kid gets to blaze down.
