Welcome to Tour-De-Bike

Spring 2011 has arrived!

Time to take to the trails.

You need some accessories for maximum comfort and safety while on the road.
What’s the biggest complaint among cyclists? Yes, the bicycle seat. But many companies are in the business of building a better bicycle seat, and today you have options ranging from special cushiony gel seats to built in suspension to split seats.

Don’t leave your kids at home, take them with you! Today there are some very safe and comfortable bicycle trailers on the market. If you have a day off, they’ll love a ride to the park. Look for trailers with a roll cage around it to avoid flipping, large wheels for better handling on the road, and bright colors and a flag for visibility.

Ride your bike and go shopping? Bring your children?

With a bike trailer, of course you can. In the last few years, innovative products have come along to make it easier for you to carry your groceries and cargo. Child trailers are safer and the frames are lightweight and more durable, making a ride for them fun and safe.

A great accessory to any urban bike, whether you take your children for a ride to the park or you need to make a quick shopping run without having to turn on the engine of your car.

When looking for a child or baby trailer, think of how you will be using it and where you will be storing it. Safety is, of course, of utmost importance, and standards are in place to make sure all carriers on the market have been extensively tested.

The brightness and visibility of a trailer will cause any traffic to notice you well in advance. Your child should wear a helmet (in some states it’s the law), and their neck should be strong enough to hold their head up, usually after a year old.
