Foldable Bicycle Trailers

Foldable Bike Trailers

When you’re planning to go on a long cycling expedition (or even a short one), being able to carry some items with you is essential. Foldable bicycle trailers are easy to assemble, convenient and are a must for those who are serious about cycling. Beyond hauling items, however, there are other types of trailers that are used to transport children or pets. These are wonderful ideas for vacations, rail trails and day trips.

Trailers for Cargo

A cargo trailer easily fits to the back of your bicycle, allowing you to pull a fair number of items while cycling. Bike trailers with adjustable handles let you adjust the length of the cord, either letting you carry items close or farther away, depending on your needs. Most of these trailers do have an included hood that’s weather resistant; look for a specific bicycle trailers with rain covers if that is an important feature toyou.

Trailers for Kids

A little more fun that hauling cargo, many trailers are constructed especially for infants and toddlers. These stroller conversion trailers resemble a jogging stroller that fits easily on the back of your bike. If you have more than one child you’d like to take for a ride, not to worry - there are single and double options as well as larger sizes. There are also trailers especially made for infants that are equipped with special safety standards.

Pet Trailers

Some cyclists would like to tow their fur babies with them for a long ride, and there are several types of pet trailers available so you can do so. Similar to children’s trailers, these devices are waterproof or water-resistant and include a hood or flap to help protect your pet from inclement weather. Adjustable and easy to attach like the others, these come in different sizes as well.

Styles and Brands

You have various colour choices when it comes to foldable bicycle trailers. Such as wearing reflective gear when you’re cycling, it’s good to opt for a bright colour so you’re easily seen by passing motorists and others. Many of the pet and child trailers have three wheels for stability, but cargo trailers may have two tyres, similar to that of a wagon. There are also many different brands to choose from, such as Pacific and Topeak.
