Trailer Bike
A trailer bike is the rear end of a child’s bike that attaches onto another bike (including tandems). This allows your child to pedal, or freewheel their bike whilst being connected to the parent’s bike.There are a variety of trailers bikes available with various fittings, we’ve found that some of the trailer bikes that attach onto the seat post of the adult bike sometimes leads to the child’s trailer bike leaning sideways and spoiling the enjoyment of the ride and compromising the child’s safety.
We recommend and stock the Roland Add+Bike trailer bike, these bikes attach to the rear pannier rack.
We also stock child seats which can be fitted onto the rack
