TRAILGATOR BICYCLE TOW BAR – TANDEM LINK FOR CHILDS BIKE
The TrailGator Bicycle Tow Bar converts an ordinary child’s bike into a safe, towable trailer bike, whenever desired. To ride attached, simply unclip the tow bar from the stored position on the adult bike, extend it, and connect it to the receiver, which is mounted on the child’s bike. When the child’s bike is connected, the front wheel is lifted off the ground and a stabilizing bar prevents the handlebars from turning, leaving the adult in control of steering. Children can choose to coast or pedal while they are being towed, making the ride much easier for them.
