Bike trailers......................?

Malia

I am asking this in a few sections by the way.

How many of you mommies/daddies/caregivers have bike trailers/seats for your child/children? I am looking into getting a trailer, the kind that sits on the ground. My husband's bday is today. I see a few on craigslist.
Another question...if you do have a bike seat or trailer, do you wear a helmet when you take your little one out? And does your little one wear a helmet?

Thank you :)

Answer
you should always at least put your kid in a helmet.

Schwinn vs Instep bike trailer comparison?

hbuckley10

I would like to buy a bike trailer for my boys (3.5 & 1.5) to ride in when my husband and I go for bike rides. It looks like the Instep Rocket, Schwinn Trailblazer and Schwinn Turbo are all very similar. I would like to hear reviews of those who own these and if anyone could tell me what the major differences are between them that would be great. I've found them all for about the same price. Thank you!

Answer
Hi. I ,too, am shopping for a bike trailer and have been pricing and reviewing them all day on line! I'm torn between the Rocket and Trailblazer, which seem to pretty much be very similar. I've read that InStep is the better brand, maybe. What I've noticed about the Turbo is that it's recommended for kids over 18 months, rather than 1 year...not sure why though.

Is there a reasonably-priced (under $200) bike trailer with a decent seat for a five-year-old?

We purchased an InStep Quick 'n' EZ bike trailer, but the seat does not have much construction to it. We have a five-year-old and two-year-old, so something a little roomier would be nice. Our budget is limited to $100-$200. I have not been able to find anything used.

Answer
yea - keep looking, my buddy bought one at Target for like $75, it is really nice. it is not really that big, but its nice. kinda makes me mad we spent $500 on the trek gobug deluxe. check nashbar.com. last i saw they had a pretty nice one. if you are patient you can score one on craigslist.com. but overall trailers are great and my kids LOVE it! also at age 5, my son used the piggybacker (the one wheel bike that attaches to the seat post of an adult bike.) then when the baby came along, i hook the trailer up to the piggybacker. now we have a long caravan of bikes. we get lots of looks and laughs and dad gets a great workout!

best beginner dirt bike?

i am 14 6 foot and weigh 200 pounds and i am wondering what kind of dirt bike i should get, i do mostly trail riding but i also do a lot of hard packed dirt roads and trails, i have ridden dirtbikes before but i have always been a atv man. i want something that wont come on to strong but will also go good when i give it to it, and i would rather a 4- stroke also. please any information on dirtbikes would be great thank you.

Answer
Well your a pretty big kid plus your still growing so you shouldn't get anything less than a 400.
My best recommendation would be a 450 trail bike. You could also get a yzf426. But don't get anything under a 400 cause it wont be able to pull someone around your size with ease plus you'll grow out of it rather quickly.
