HEADPHONES Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Was driving to work today and saw a cyclist towing what appeared to be a pram on two wheels. Went home and googled them. http://www.richardsonsonline.co.uk/acc_ ... %20Trailer Advert says TOUGH steel construction/ wrap around bumper for SAFETY I got goosebumps just thinking of the horrific accidents that could occur. So many daydreaming motorists don't even spot cyclists in their mirrors let alone a buggy below waist height being towed by a cyclist. Makes the worries that zed owners have about carrying babyseats pale into insignificance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Loads of people where I live use them. I'm in the 'burbs though which is very different. I think they're brilliant personally for use around where I stay. Wouldn't dream of using them in the city or countryside roads though.

Chris`I Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 On tracks and cyclepaths they are a great idea, but why anyone would take one on the road, I dont know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff-r Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I wish my parents bought me one of these when I was a kid, instead they made me learn to cycle! The cheek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
