As we continue on with our Summer Ortlieb, Tubus, Racktime sale for another week, we will be posting user contributed photos that show various uses of these products. Here is a good example of a set of Ortleib Back Rollers Classics being put to some good use. The bike child seat looks to be a Bobike front child seat, a model which we plan on carrying soon at BikeKidShop.com.
First picture (2nd on post) of just the bike, there is a 35 lb figurative steel sculpture in the panniers. You can see the hand sticking out.
Second pic it is full of snacks and diapers!
With our amazing deals on 2011 and 2012 Chariots going on through May 28th, I thought I would highlight this customer photo of David out enjoying his Chariot CX2. Not only our the Chariots great for cycling with your kids, they are great multi-use carriers for strolling, jogging, hiking, cross-country skiing and in this case roller blading.
The trailer-cycle/bike-child-trailer train, is a rare creature that reveals itself in parks with bike paths and suburbs with low traffic. This fun but awkward setup is scared of traffic, steep turns and rough roads. Though always lingering on the endangered species list, they tend to crop up when the kids are just the right age and mom wants to go cycling.
Some great photos of happy kids on bike to school commute with a Kona Ute.

With our Adam’s Trailer-Cycle Sale running through next Tuesday, I wanted to post this submission from a family who has been able to share the joys of cycling with their son who has Down syndrome
We were so grateful to find your “trail-a-bike!” Our little boy has Down syndrome and at age 9 still does not have the coordination to ride a bike by himself, but the trail-a-bike allows him to have the same experience as riding a typical bike. It’s so great to see him riding down the road with the wind blowing in his face, his feet pedaling and a smile that shines like the sun! Plus, we were so impressed by what a beautiful bike it is. (We got the red one.) Happy trails!

In the midst of our Black Friday thru Cyber Monday sales, we’ve also launched some sales on our trailer-cycles. We have both Adams and Weehoo Trailer Cycles on sale for 10% off through Dec. 13th.
This photo was snapped riding along side a bike commuting family that I kept seeing towards the end of the summer. Daughter is on board an Adams Folder 24 Trail-A-Bike. Whoops, keep that foot on the pedal there…
Richard sent us these photos of his son on an Xtracycle with PeaPod and a stroller attached on the PeaPod. It sounds like he is a real fan after a few months. He included this video of his adventures with the Xtracycle.
Speaking of the PeaPod, we are kicking off our Fall Inventory Reductions. We happen to have some overstock off the PeaPod at the moment. Click through to our PeaPod page for details.
Dear BikeShopHub People:
Earlier this year, when Xtracycle kits were no longer available in the shops here in Australia, my partner and I, after searching the Internet, found you! We ordered a Free Rad kit, a PeaPod, and a 2nd Snapdeck, and the rest has been history. We are now a 2 Xtracycle family, and I ride mine every day, for any reason!
Thanks, Richard Monfries (PS: I wear your BikeShopHub.com T-shirt when I’m out and about on the bike too)
'The Blobinnator' - that's what my 5 year old son Max has called my Xtracycle.

While September and October are the end of the prime cycling season here in Flagstaff, it is the start of the cycling season in the deserts of our southern Arizona neighbors. Some Bike Shop Hub blog readers sent in these great photos of their bike trailer rally. It looks like they were having a great time on their family bicycle camping trip. And were always excited to see families having fun with gear that is available from all 3 of our shops: BikeTrailerShop.com, BikeBagShop.com and BikeKidShop.com.

Some great photos of Kent and his daughter enjoying their Croozer Kid for 2.
Ordered this Croozer Kid for 2 from bikekidshop.com together with the baby sling. A reasonably good product quality indeed and I like about it’s push-release wheels that fix and dismantles quickly. It’s also so easy to convert between a trailer, a jogger and a stroller. It is spacious enough to accommodate my 5-year old son (Max height limit is 117cm)and he was comfortable enough to enjoy his drinks and chips while taking pictures along the way, finishing the trip dozing away. The little girl only gets to move around in it on stroller-mode, at least for now, till she’s older to join her brother.

We were recently contacted by an entrepreneur who has been working hard to bring a new product to market, the Cavery Cab, a single wheeled bike child trailer designed for off-road use. It looks to be a well thought out and solidly built design. In communicating with Cavery Cab, I also got the sense that this would be priced much more competitively than the very pricey Tout Terrain Single Trailer. Check out the Cavery Cab website for a bunch of great photos and info on the product.
From the designer/entrepreneur:
“I wanted to bring to your attention that a new bike trailer is coming to market. I have spent the last several years perfecting a single wheel bike trailer for children and gear. We call the trailer the “Cavery Cab” inspired by our son and you can find us on facebook by searching for “Cavery Cab”. If you would be interested in learning more about this trailer or perhaps offering it to customers, please feel free to contact me through this email or our facebook page. We are looking to fill orders.”
