As I was cycling across town , I came across a young mother who had attached to her hybrid bike a trail a bike. For those of you who don't know what that is ,it is an after market attachent. It basically turns a regular bike into a tandem. It is designed for kids to pedal along with an adult.
It is joined to the bike via a clamp to the seat post of the parents bike and a universal joint on the trailer. By inserting a locking pin you can couple the two and it makes it easy to detach.
I used to have one for my kids. They really liked it. When they pedalled they really added to the forward motion. The harder they pedaled , the faster we went. It even made life simpler by going up hill.
We would climb Poplar Plain and then zoom down Russel Hill Road. We would do that over and over again. It was a lot of fun. The kids loved the speed of the decent and the s curves. Not so much the climbing
I would recommend the trail a bike to anybody who has young kids... it's a lot of fun especiall for taking a spin in the neighborhood or on the bike paths
