I saw this while out riding around, and didn't get a chance to ask the rider about it, but it looked awesome.
From far away, it looked like a normal trailabike which hooks onto the front/adult seatpost. A large arm comes down from there, but instead of ending in handlbars and the back end of a 20 inch bike, it ended in a QR hub type configuration. It also had a place to hold a (what i first thought was a spare) wheel.
Upon closer inspection, the bike in the back was a complete kid's bike--16 or 20 inches, i can't recall. The connection between the two bikes was via the front fork of the kid's bike, and the end of the arm of the trailabike thing.
I imagine it would be an awesome way to go for rides, as both riders start on their own bikes, and if the kid gets tired, just take off the front wheel, clamp it to the trailabike, and tow them home...
Do any of you know who makes this? Could it have been a DIY job?
Thanks!
