Disclosure: Cycle Sprog were kindly sent the FollowMe Tandem to review, but we were not paid to write this article. https://www.thelittlebikecompany.co.uk/product/followme-adapter-for-kids-bike-with-14-16-wheel-m6-threaded-axles/ The initial surprise at the price tag has been replaced with a realisation that what we have here is not your cheap and cheerful attachment to wobble down to the shops, but a much more precise instrument suitable for those little jaunts but also capable of more demanding and exciting trips – the Coast to Coast, Land’s End to John O’ Groats. A tow rope system, like the TowWhee or TraxMTB, is an alternative to a trailer-cycle that I often recommend. Compared to the FollowMe tandem, a tow rope offers a lot more ease of use and flexibility. They weigh virtually nothing, require little or no installation, can be swapped between parents and kids, and can be used for off-road riding.

He loves to ride, but does get tired out, so we are looking to get some sort of hitch to help when he’s too tired to carry on. Also, tow bars will be attached to your saddle stem. That induces quite a lot of stress on your bike’s frame!!! The FollowMe, on the other hand, is mounted right to your rear axle, where the frame is designed to handle all forces coming from your rear tire; and it can easily handle that additional stress that comes from your FollowMe tandem. Together on the road: With FollowMe you can transport a second child seat or your shopping on the carrier without restrictions. That’s it. Have fun! Give the entire setup a test ride, preferably just by yourself for the very first time, and then invite your kid to join you and enjoy the wild ride!geniales Teil. Sehr einfache Montage, nur das Einstellen auf das Kinderrad ( bei mir 14², also eher zu klein ) war etwas kompliziert. Aber einmal dran merkt man das Kinderrad kaum noch. Leider passt unser Anhänger (Chariot Corsaire) nicht mit angebauter Kupplung dran, da dann das FollowMe an den Anhänger schlägt. There are numerous companies running Cycle to Work schemes and we work with the vast majority of them Secondly, there’s the frame fitting kit, which needs to be installed on the down tube. This process is a bit fiddly, but once it’s done, it holds surprisingly well. We’re using our FollowMe for almost two years now and it never moved even one millimeter! FollowMe Kid’s Bike Frame Fitting Kit… FollowMe Setup: Can You Do It Yourself? We have 2 trailgators – they do the job, but set up has to be spot on otherwise your passenger will be leaning over (a lot) or their handlebars will not be straight. The clamps do mark the kids’ bikes too. Hitching is a bit fiddly but not too bad. I tend to leave the hitch on one bike. They are cheap, especially second hand. The clamp that holds the trailer bar when your kids are riding on their own really needs flat drop outs – I’ve got cowled drop outs on my bike and this makes it fiddly to attach.

The Rascals are a family of three. Kristen (mom), Blair (dad), and Parker (kiddo). We started Rascal Rides when Parker was born and we didn’t want to give up our passion for biking. As we learned, we shared. Over the years, we’ve tested hundreds of kids bikes, helmets, bike trailers, and more. The finish appears to be robust but I cycle all year round, which has a habit of taking its toll on the shiny stuff, so I’ll reserve judgement on its longevity until it’s braved a British winter. I expect a few fixings to show signs of corrosion but at this price level, the brown stuff shouldn’t be widespread. For small items we use Royal Mail's 48 service which has a delivery time of typically 2-3 days from dispatch; Having your kids attached to your bike when riding on a road next to cars is a much safer approach than if they were riding all by themselves.As parents of two little boys, it’s not always easy to get everyone on board when planning our next bike tour. Especially for Benni, our 5-year-old son, who really wants to ride his own bike already, it can be a tough challenge: He obviously cannot ride as fast as my wife and I can and doesn’t have the persistence yet to endure a 20-mile long ride all by himself. The FollowMe Tandem is a coupler that attaches an adult bike to a child’s bike, and allows you to haul the bike–and the child on it. The kiddo is able to pedal along, or simply rest. Počáteční instalace se dá při troše zručnosti zvládnout do 30 minut, poté připojíte či odpojíte dětské kolo k Vašemu kolu během chvilky bez použití nářadí. dítě se unaví, chce ještě jet na kole, ale nemá už sílu nebo chuť šlapat, nebo naopak Vy nechcete, aby jelo dítě samo a chcete ho mít pod kontrolou (rušná silnice, horší terén, prudký sjezd);
