when u learn to smirk at the racersby

Twenty years back, you rode that Yamaha Rx100 and impressed your classmates. You raced past all the Ambassadors and Premier Padminis. You quietly kept your smoking, seized engine a secret from your friends. You were a hero.

Today, you are a hero to your child. You ride a bike with a delectable thump. You are looked at with envy by the teenagers riding faster and more colorful bikes. You don't pull in that slight hunch of a pot belly anymore. You are happy with your child being an extension of you. When you take your child out for a ride on your bike, you don't raise your middle finger at others anymore.

Your child apes you -- wishes it could be you today by some magical metamorphosis -- wishes to accompany you on your biking trips.

torQrider allows you to do just that. Plonk your child on the bike with you and take off without worrying about him falling off or falling asleep. A torQrider harness allows your child to enjoy the same freedom that you as a biker enjoy today. Put your child in front if he is below six, put him on the pillion seat if he is above six -- torQrider ensures your child is safely strapped to you.

Complete with a neck support (to protect the neck when a child falls asleep) and stirrups (to take care of the dangling feet), the torQrider is for the person who, despite his receding hairline, is benevolent enough to pass on his dreams to the little dreamer.
