About this deal

Secondly, there is a little strap and spring hook included that you may want to run through your saddle. It allows parents to attach their kids’ bikes to the rear of their own bikes and then ride together with them.

Many other towbars available on the market bear the risk that your own bike and your kid’s bike can tilt in opposite directions and thus cause a crash very easily. Select the solid axle option if your child's bike has wheel nuts (requiring a spanner to turn) securing the front wheel. I contacted the UK distributor for the FollowMe Tandem who didn’t know and I contacted Islabikes, who were helpful, but gave me the wrong information. That is, if the front wheel is secured to the front forks with a quick release skewer or allen key bolts. This location is not compatible with the upward arc of the coupling where it attaches to the parent bike's axle; I don't know why that upward arc is even necessary.

I predict that over the next couple of years the FollowMe will become a standard investment for parents who have a passion for cycling. In summary, a well-constructed product that is very secure in use, with no unnerving flexing or movement for either rider or passenger. Würde mir faltbare Streben wünschen, damit man das Teil etwas kleiner verstauen kann unterwegs (hinten im Kinderhänger). There appears to be a dedicated FollowMe distributor here in the UK, but they have no information on the "fake axle" extension that I can see. Every time you hit a bump, the weak spring lets out a little bit of the strap until the whole thing goes crashing to the ground.

I did make it to the top, and there was no adverse effect when I stood up on the pedals towards the top of the slope.

My experiences are generally positive, but differ from other available reviews, many of which seem to be based on a day or a week of using the coupling. The other employees, when I gave the name of the one who was supposedly helping me, clucked in sympathy but didn't offer to give me any assistance themselves. After use, or when the child is not being towed, fold the FollowMe up and attach it to the rails of your saddle or your pannier rack with the included strap and carabiner. Let’s add some finishing touches by sliding the kid’s fitting kit on the down tube up and down until the front wheel of your kid’s bike is about 3 inches above the ground. A quick test proved that it’s almost impossible to start from a stationery position when the child’s brakes are applied (though he was riding an Islabike, which has serious braking capabilities).

If you enjoy biking and have kids aged between 3 and (probably 12, I guess), then FollowMe is for you! I've been using a Kangaroo wee-ride, which I've found to be excellent - far more stable than some rear-mounted seats I've tried, as the C of G stays central.At the end of the day, the FollowMe’s safety obviously depends on whether you have installed and set up everything the way it is supposed to be: Have you tightened all screws properly? The FollowMe Tandem is definitely a quality piece of kit that makes cycling with a child easy and enjoyable.

After recently testing the Trail Gator that scratched up our bike’s frame pretty badly, we really appreciated this small attention to detail. If you have another pair of hands it is much easier as one person can hold the adult bike, while the other wheels the child’s bike into position.Make sure to place the velcro under the perforated sheet to protect the frame and give it a snug fit. Das Material schwer, wie ein Damenrad von 1960, der Preis übertrieben und Schäden an den Rädern müssen in Kauf genommen werden.
