Christopher Brunsdon Posted March 29, 2012 Share Guy did the Argus with his daughter on one of these a few years back so I guess they are safe enough. Thinking of getting one and they are between R2-R3K now.Know as a "half-bike" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofie Posted March 29, 2012 Share Ive got one. (Actually looking at the link - I dont, I just have the one that mounts onto your bike)Its made my Giant.Used it a couple of times with my son (3 years old now) Took him to Meerendal the other day and he loved it. He started moaning a bit when I was going faster though as he was getting a bit of a beating on the back of my hardtail. Quite a thing to get used to though. Having all that extra weight does throw off your centre of gravity.Starting and clipping in also becomes slightly interesting. But otherwise it is pretty cool.

Ramrod Posted March 29, 2012 Share do yourself a favour and get yourself a wee ride.

The Ghost Posted March 29, 2012 Share Are you referring to the wee ride that goes in front of the cyclist? I like this one - http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=32842Saw a kid and his dad on one without gears the other day, and the lightie was peddling with a stupidly high cadence; I think a few gears will help.

SwissVan Posted March 29, 2012 Share See them (Trailers and hitcha bikes) all the time here, on and off road. People use them to go shopping, bikahiking, carry the dog or groceries, kids, etc...obvisiouly not meant for serious technical offroad stuff.
