It's now discontinued by Burley, it seems, but it's still by far the best of it's kind, in my opinion. You can still find them online for ~$350. When it's time to sell mine, I expect to have no difficulty getting ~$275. The resale value on these things is spectacular. I was under

Yes. I have a Piccolo, attaches to my Hilsen in fact, and the kids absolutely love it. One of the best bike investments a parent can make. -Allan On Wednesday, March 14, 2012 10:31:49 AM UTC-7, William wrote: For a child that's big enough to pedal (~ages 4 through 10 or so). I've had

+3 on the Piccolo. Finding one is a chore, but it's the best tag-along out there (tried Adams and Trek). Plus you can use the rack for other stuff which is nice. On Wednesday, March 14, 2012 10:55:50 AM UTC-7, Allan in Portland wrote: Yes. I have a Piccolo, attaches to my Hilsen in fact, and

I know, right? Maybe we should start a bike swapping reality show. The swap will happen for one year, after which time you have to declare whether you want to swap back or not. Only if both don't want to trade back is the swap permanent. On Tuesday, March 13, 2012 9:07:14 PM UTC-7, Allan

Dude..don't do it! Get a trailer for hauling kids and stuff with your Hilsen. Children grow up fast and need to ride their own eventually. Or get a old steel mountainbike and a xtracycle conversion or even a full on cargo bike for those times when you are out with the fam. Keep your

My AHH kid seat is still a work in progress --- I've added a big U bolt as a backrest... EasyRider style... since this pic was takenhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/15966859@N07/6812051114/--- but the kids love it. The kid weight is all on the dropout. I called RivHQ because I had the same hilsen

Go to Goodwill and buy a child's bike. Probably cost you $25. Or buy an errand/hauler for yourself and configure it for a rear child seat... still $25. On Tuesday, March 13, 2012 9:19:38 PM UTC-5, Peter M wrote: Could not believe how succesful Jinx was at doing his swap so I was wondering

FWIW, I'm 280+, and ride my AHH periodically with well loaded large saddle sack and front slickersack, and it hasn't yet felt like the bike wasn't up to it. Might be the glory of the second top tube. Jim in Boulder On Tuesday, March 13, 2012 8:19:38 PM UTC-6, Peter M wrote: Could not

Yeah on the 54 it would be hard to squeeze in a second tube, Haha. Does trailer weight not affect the overall weight like panniers, etc? Just wondering what direction to go with the kid. On Mar 14, 2012 11:26 AM, Jim jamesfek...@gmail.com wrote: FWIW, I'm 280+, and ride my AHH periodically
