best kids bikes with gears image
Tessa
I want to get a cruiser bike, but I want to get a trailer too to pull the kids along in. Would that be a good idea, or should I get a bike with gears? I live in FL so it is really flat land.
Answer
Most bike trailers have a clamp that affixes the bike to your trailer. So, attaching a trailer will be no problem.
Pulling a trailer may be an issue, though. You'll find the additional weight of your kids will make it harder to pedal your bike. Depending on your strength and the weight of your kids this may or may not be a problem. With a geared bike you have the ability to compensate for the added weight by shifting to a lower gear.
Also, depending on the design of your comfort bike you may not be in a good posture for efficient pedaling. (Road, mountain and hybrid bikes put you in a more efficient position with your weight more over the pedals and allowing full extension of your legs.)
Finally, if your bike does not have a front brake, I'd be pretty concerned about stopping with the added weight of your kids. A front brake provides vastly more stopping power than a rear brake. You will, of course, have the added weight of the trailer and your kids on the rear wheel, so performance may not be too bad, but when I need and want to stop, I want to have a front brake.
Hope this helps.

How is it legal for the city to come on your property and take everything you own.?

Answer
This doesn't happen without notifying you.
I'm sure the town has warned you several times of a thing such as a blight ordinance, and that if you didn't clean it up, they would.
You would have had plenty of time to haul those trailers to the scrap yard to turn them. Among other things.
