Now Bob can share his joy of cycling with his daughter
Before young Sheila came along Bob used to love his long recreational cycles. The first few years of Sheila growing up he had been too busy helping his partner take care of Sheila and still working full time to be able to cycle much.
Now that Sheila was 5 and ready to go on adventures with her Daddy, Bob very much wanted to share his joy of cycling with his daughter.
Now he can.
This nifty device uses a quick release towing system enabling his daughter’s standard Childs bike to be converted to a trailer bike in a matter of moments, and more amazing they can disconnect in seconds and ride independently. Much better than an expensive trailer bike, that wouldn’t encourage independent riding skills and costs twice as much.
One of the best kept secrets of cycling with children

Reduce the dangers of cycling with young children
With the rise in population and increase in car use, the local suburban footpath can be fraught with danger for a young cyclist.
Young children have not yet fully developed the skills, foresight and confidence to maintain and be responsible for their own safety on a footpath next to a busy local road. Often a small distraction can lead to them into a dangerous direction.
Cycle Tow has this fantastic product. This wondrous system allows you to tow your child on their current bike. So you connect them up while cycling next to busy roads and when you arrive at the cycle path you can unconnected them allowing them to cycle on their own. The tow system stores on the adult bike when not in use so you too can ride your bike too.
Cheaper and much more flexible than a Tag Along Trailer Bike
And its only $139.95 delivered free!

POSTIES BACK ON THEIR BICYCLES
Have you seen a postie or two lately riding a bicycle instead of a motorbike? Well its more common again than you would think. Australia Post introduced the Postie motorbike in 1984 and by the early 2000's you would be lucky to see a postie on a bicycle. But now with competitiveness in the Australian labour market Post has had to try lots of different ways to attract and keep new posties. So if one day your new postie rides down your street delivering mail on a bicycle that's why!

TANDEM RACK utilized in the 2007 Great Victorian Bike Ride !
Here is what Nick and Mat said about there experiences with the Tandem Rack on the 2007 Great Vic bicycle ride.
"Lots of people have asked us where we got our tow bar. We bought it from an online store based in North America www.x2cycle.com.
It is has an Alloy Telescoping rod approx 1m in length that connects the rear end of the adult bike to the front of the towed bike. It comes with its own bike rack and is easy to put on and take off as well as store. It has worked Great, helping me up the hills or when I need a bit of a rest, we connect it and dad does most of the work. But when I want to ride it comes off just as easily."
