towing childs bike

[ajb9]

Hi, Ive been looking for something to help tow a child,s bike and have now got this FOLLOW ME tandem attachment, made by the SWISS so should last.

You can fit it to your bike before you leave home and ride with it attached via a strap and when the child gets tired of peddling you lower it and attach the child,s bike.

It is easy to fit and very stable when riding.



can be obtained from FollowMe Tandem Official UK Distributor Follow Me Coupling

Looks great you have to be aware of several things though as I found out to my cost.

The child on the back is quite low down so difficult for drivers to see, the tag-along bikes have flags that stick up out of the back. You can get the clips and flags online.

You have to make sure that the child's bike is a sort that it can roll along without the pedals turning. Some childrens bikes are fixed wheel or back pedal, so if the child stopped pedalling behind you, the pedals might still go round at a fast rate and catch their legs. If they had a back pedal bike then obviously if they were 'freewheeling' and put pressure on the back pedal that could cause a nasty accident.

Lets just say that I found those things out due to personal experience some years ago.
