[Gear-To-Go Tandems]

Bill,

The trailerbikes will be very effective in allowing your son to ride with 
you.

I'd recommend getting one with gears, otherwise he'll often be spinning 
uselessly or struggling to turn the pedals.  He'll like gears just like you 
do:)

IMHO, the best of the trailerbikes is the Burley Piccolo.  It attaches to 
it's own rear rack for the lead bike.  This has the attachment method with 
the least amount of slop, shortens the length of the attaching yoke, and 
also allows the trailerbike to better track behind the lead bike.

Of course, the best solution is a tandem (or a triplet).

My wife and I are looking for anyone who has any experience using a trail a 
bike.  Our son is 7 - not yet able to keep up with us for a family bikiing 
and we are looking into getting a bike that hooks on to the back of ours. 
Have people used them with road bikes or mountain bikes before?  Are they 
difficult?  Can you travel long distances with them?  and what brands/makes 
have people found to be worth the money.
Thanks for any help.    Bill Begeal
