[RBW] Towing a kid bike?

2019-03-24 Thread Ian A
I saw a man the other day portaging a bicycle as a backpack while riding 
another. The portaged bike looked a lot smaller than his other bike, so maybe 
his child's. He had the bike arranged with the wheels off and strapped flush to 
the frame. It appeared completely stable.

It inspired me to search for a carrying system and I saw this:

You might devise a method along similar lines?

[RBW] Towing a kid bike?

It's tricky, but I've bungeed front wheels alongside my rear rack. Two 
connections on the front of the wheel and one to the towed bike's fork. Get it 
right and it's a trailer (not for riders though)
Unfortunately I've no pictures, but I promise it's a thing. I've also tried the 
upside down kids bike with the top of the bars lashed on top of the rear rack, 
that method makes the pivot a little jumpy, it's nice to keep the headset of 
the towee as low as you can get it for less floppiness.

There is a thing called a Trail-Gator:

I have no experience with it & I'm actually not at all certain why I know this 
thing exists!

[RBW] Towing a kid bike?

2019-03-23 Thread dstein
I know cargo bikes have those hoop things that you can pop the front wheel 
of a kids bike in and tow it. And there's the trail-a-bikes. But is there 
any way anyone here has found to tow a kids bike on a regular, non-cargo 
riv-ish bike? 

My 5-year-old and I bike to school in the morning and usually just leave 
the bike there to ride home. But there are times when its forecast to rain 
and I don't want to leave her bike out there getting wet, or ride home in 
the rain (usually I'll walk or drive to pick her up in those cases). And 
next year we're looking at an after school program that would require her 
to take a shuttle from school to another place, so I would want to take the 
bike back with me after drop off in the AM otherwise it would be stuck at 
school. 

Trying to think of a way to tow it with a normal bike setup, w/o having to 
get a new (ie, cargo) bike.
