WEEEEEEHOOOOOOOOOO! We went to Vegas Interbike Bicycle show and boy was it amazing! If you’ve never been it’s a giant collection of bicycle manufacturers or a GIANT TOY STORE OF BICYCLES GOODIES (and Beer). Interbike is a great way for companies to preview new products to businesses and consumers. One of our favorite companies is…
May is National Bike Month so I only see it fitting to write a little about events taking place to strengthen the bicycle community and with that, biking families. As author Russell Anderson so eloquently states ‘Bike riding is great for family involvement. It’s something fun to bring everyone together.’ Being from Tucson we are…
As a newly-anointed mother who has recently tapped the never-ending wellsprings of maternal generosity found in my mother and mother-in-law, I find myself much more nostalgic this Mothers Day than most. Thus, it is only fitting that I deposit a few words here about a remarkable woman who in addition to being an extraordinary mother…
Hi, my name is Carissa Sipp and I am a trailer parent. I admit it, I am addicted. So what is a trailer parent you ask? Any parent who commutes or hauls little kids on bike rides and would rather do this than get in a car. We are a little lazy as the thought…
My son Jackson, just turned one and it was time to figure bike transportation for him and our 4 year old daughter by bicycle. We first thought about setting up my Xtracycle Edgerunner with a 2nd Yepp Child seat. But then we thought #1 I want to sell that bike and try out something different…
The Weehoo WeeGo is a great addition to your family. I really hope I covered alot of things that I feel are important when I’m looking for a new trailer. The Removable cover is always a big plus especially if you have two kids who like a vomit like I do and the plastic footwell…
For the first time, in our short history down here in Tucson, we were an official sponsor of Cyclovia Tucson. To captivate the Cyclovians we decided to bring out some of the bicycle touring rigs we had set up for our new showroom. We brought out a Surly CrossCheck and ECR both setup with Ortlieb…
I am a very lucky guy. I get to go cycling with my daughter. Showing the joy of cycling to my daughter has been one of my favorite things about being a dad. When we go on a ride it is an adventure for just the two of us. Or for the whole family. And…
In some past lifetime, long ago, in other words, before I had a child, bike commuting was pretty much what it sounded like: riding my bicycle to get from point A to point B and back again. I used racks and panniers, front and rear. Simple. Then I had a child. And bike commuting looked…

According to Hilary: It was the first snowfall of the year, and we decided to hit the trails near home. We didn’t think it had actually snowed as much as it had or we would have put our skis on the Chariots! 2km in we realized that 6-8 inches of snow is a lot to…

Dave and granddaughter Jordan cruise to and from school by Adams Trail-A-Bike. “Shes the only kindergartener that gets picked up with the bike limo.” Lucky Jordan, and love the helmet! Enjoy those nice crisp autumn days while they last before the kiddos start complaining about the cold winter ahead — and complain and complain and…
Another inventive Burley Trailer-Cycle / Adams Trail-A-Bike inspired build! Here is Scott’s version: I modified a Bob Yak trailer fork to use as a trail-a-bike attachment which allows my son to ride next to me on the trails, then I can re-attach him when we get to busier areas. I’ll be adding some pannier racks…
Celebrate the first days of autumn by going for a nice long bike ride with your children — all of them. Nat attached a child trailer to his daughter’s trailer-cycle which is attached to his own bike. The result: Bike Train! Not to be confused with our recently reported Aussie Road Train bike and trailer….

It’s a beautiful day here in Flagstaff (with only the very slightest color enhancement). So take a tip from this family cyclist, get out your Xtracycles, child seats, and Burley trailers, and force those children of yours to enjoy the beautiful days of summer with you while they last. Officially you have four days left….

Alex sent in this photo of his DIY solution to child transport in an attempt to make something like the FollowMe Tandem. Sort of like an Adams Trail-A-Bike, sort of like a Burley Trailer-Cycle, and according to Alex: “More or less successful.” Let’s hope “more” for the kid’s sake! Also quite the creative use of…
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…
