Good point.
Better order it when your kid starts walking!
In any case, if Riv could design a smart kids frame and get it made for $600 or
so, seems like there are plenty of people on this list who'd spend that,

Sasha White did a kid's bike - 26" wheels with a low saddle and really cool

I've tried everything - panniers, baskets, backpack/messenger bag, and for

Modern, high-strength timing belts don't like to be bent backwards or

Make sure you use fresh shellac. A can over two years old may not
cure well and the coating may remain sticky. I buy the flakes and mix
my own for best results. If you buy a can, buy the smallest you can
find.

I think you should be fine, even if you waited and shellaced them
Friday.
I've ridden only a couple hours after applying shellac- I haven't
