I told her we should sell the tandem and she almost cried (cool for me!!!). So that being said we are looking to buy a trailer for next fall or early summer 2007. Usage will be mostly road, and some fireroad (with my mountian bike). If the kid likes the trailer we are hoping to get between 1-2 hour rides in.
Based on the info above where does a guy get info and ratings on a trailer. If you have had experience with one let me know. I know a lot about burly since I own a burley tandem but know nothing about the other brands. Are there good resoruces on the web for research. Was thinking about ebaying a trailer since we don't have tons of money with the kid comming.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
PS Sorry if this is in the wrong section of the forum. The "family & recreation" section does not get much traffic.
Thanks!
I got an idea that's non-standard, but you should be able to ride singletrack with it.
By a full suspension bob trailer. Construct a removeable roll-cage for it. Than strap a baby car seat in ... Voila, you have a singletrack baby trailer that you can also use on road.
For trail maintenance days, just remove the roll-cage and put in the tools.
