Alex's Handcrafted Trailer-Cycle – Hang on Kids!
Alex sent in this photo of his DIY solution to child transport in an attempt to make something like the FollowMe Tandem. Sort of like an Adams Trail-A-Bike, sort of like a Burley Trailer-Cycle, and according to Alex: “More or less successful.” Let’s hope “more” for the kid’s sake! Also quite the creative use of…
