Hi,yes it works very good.Had a good few years of use,then sold on ebay.They go quite quickly on ebay.Has anyone used one of these? We found the straight tow bar thing rubbish that attaches on both bikes so wondering if this is any good?
Lovely thank you, I’m thinking it will need to go on more of a mountain bike type?Hi,yes it works very good.Had a good few years of use,then sold on ebay.They go quite quickly on ebay.
We used the original Tag a long when my daughter was small. was absolutely brilliant and got is all out as a family.Has anyone used one of these? We found the straight tow bar thing rubbish that attaches on both bikes so wondering if this is any good?
Did it feel quite safe? I’m guessing I’d need a mountain bike or something?We used the original Tag a long when my daughter was small. was absolutely brilliant and got is all out as a family.
I had it behind a mountain bike as that was all I had. I wouldn't like to put one behind a full carbon racer but apart from that I wouldn't worry too much. I never felt uncomfortable, balance wise with my daughter on the back and I basically did most of the work with a bit of appreciated help on the hills.Did it feel quite safe?

He’s up to cycling 4 miles but with no gears it takes an age so I thought this would be good to get us all out together and not just me going out for longer spins
Yes i had it on my old moutain bike.It felt safe for the 2 of us.Lovely thank you, I’m thinking it will need to go on more of a mountain bike type?
Well done .Happy riding.New wheels
My bike frame has broken. Anyway any thoughts on carbon road frames? I have been happy with the Giant tcr and I may be able to get a replacement from them. However I quite fancy a change, anyone happy/unhappy with what they have? In particular I have always used rim brakes, how do people get on with disc brakes, are they worth the extra £? TIA.
I haven’t spoken to the shop but I presume my frame will be covered. However in 3 years it gets quite a bit of stick. I couldn’t put my hand on my heart and say I haven’t come off it a couple of times The front mech just broke out of the frame as I was going down hill so I don’t think it was an impact but who knows, depends on giant’s attitude I suppose. The other thing is, however irrational, having a breakage on a relatively new frame raises a question mark in my mind.Giant Frames should be lifetime warranty.
Lots of choice out there - I looked for ages for a bike. All depends what you want to spend/ what spec. Not many dud models
New Giant Defy is disc only at decent price
I love discs and nearly every bike in the TDF now uses them. Where MTB leads road bikes followMy bike frame has broken. Anyway any thoughts on carbon road frames?

Haven’t spoken to them yet. It broke on holiday and I haven’t been back long. Inconveniently it seems I have some farming to deal with ATM!What did Giant say about the frame?
I don't know your budget but the Cannondale Supersix new models are coming out and so the older ones are being knocked down from time to time. I think Tredz had the Ultegra Supersix on for £1500 which is pretty good. You should be able to find the 105 super six available cheapish too. There really is loads of choice out there.
I would think kids' skate board stuff would be as good as anything.Any recommendations on cycling gear for a 4 year old? With a bit of padding and protection?
We did 12 miles today but at one point he slid off (too busy looking at peoples fields ) and he has quite bad road rash! Even under his T-shirt
He got back on and just blamed me but I’d like to keep him a bit more protected, we’ve got cheap knee and elbow pads but he finds they pinch.
