“I got the Bee so my 2 year old grandson could accompany me on rides. He loves his little sidecar! It was straightforward to assemble and attached easily to my bike. It rides so smoothly and my grandson tells me it’s very comfy. So much fun to use!”

A leisurely bike ride to a nearby park for a picnic or playdate is a fantastic way to spend a summer day. With our spacious trailers, you can pack all the essentials – from picnic blankets to sports equipment and games. Once you arrive, simply convert the trailer into a stroller or wagon and you’re ready to relax and play.

Extend the Fun with Burley's Trailercycles

For older kids who want a bit more independence but aren’t quite ready to ride solo, Burley Trailercycles are an ideal option. These one-wheel attachments connect securely to your bike, allowing your child to pedal along and build their biking skills while you maintain control. Trailercycles are perfect for family rides on long trails or hilly terrain, giving your child a sense of participation and achievement.

Safety First with Burley

At Burley, we prioritize safety just as much as fun. All our trailers, bike seats, and trailercycles are tested to meet and exceed safety standards. Features like 5-point harnesses, robust roll cages, and reflective materials ensure that your kids are protected on every ride. Plus, our easy-to-use hitching system allows you to attach and detach the trailer quickly, making spontaneous trips a breeze.

Safe Biking with Children

Safety is paramount when biking with kids. Here are some tips:

  • Always wear properly fitted helmets.
  • Follow road safety rules and use hand signals.
  • Pack essentials like water, snacks, a first-aid kit, and sun protection. For added safety, Burley trailers come with features like 5-point harnesses, full internal roll cages, and reflective materials for visibility.

Beyond the Neighborhood

For families looking to explore beyond their usual haunts this summer, a weekend bike camping trip could be an exciting option. Burley’s trailers provide ample room for camping gear, and their durable construction is perfect for rougher terrains. For heavier packers, Burley Cargo Trailers would be a great addition to haul extra gear. Imagine biking along scenic trails, setting up camp by a lake, and spending the night under the stars – all with your precious cargo safely towed behind you.

This summer, let Burley help you turn ordinary days into extraordinary adventures. With our versatile, durable, and safe kid bike trailers, child bike seats, and trailercycles, the possibilities for fun are endless. So, dust off those helmets, pump up your tires, and get ready to create lasting memories with your kids. Here’s to a summer full of biking joy!
