    I’ve got an 18 month old and a 3 year old. What bike would you recommend for cycling the Great Western Greenway? We'll probably only do 1 or 2 sections

    They both seem suitable, they would probably enjoy the 2 seater UTE more but the trailer seems the more sensible option in case the younger one doses off, plus they're protected in case it rains

    Staying in Mulranny so I'm thinking Newport to Achill (shuttle back), rather than Mulranny to Achill and back

    i've a trailer for my 18 month old and he loves it, i tend to have it behind my hybrid and previously a cx bike.

    looking at the ute, this suggests the 2 of them would be behind you, right? on that basis i'd definitely go trailer. bike will be far more stable and they'll have a better view than if they were stuck right behind you.

    one suggestion on the greenway direction - if doing one way only maybe get the shuttle to achill and cycle back as the wind is usually blowing in from the atlantic.
