Hi all

In between my days of proper riding, me and the misses fancy taking the little one (18 months) up the park for a tranquil cycle on the back of my bike on one of those child bike seats.

It basically comprises of a bracket thing that clamps on the upright of the frame into which the seat then slots in..... http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/images/pr ... 002384.jpg

Just wondering if this is a good idea as I have often heared not to clamp anything onto aluminium frames. I suppose they are more prone to crushing than their steel buddies...

What you lot think? Any way of getting round this?
