Weehoo Trailer Bike.
There are a huge number of advantages to be had using a trailer bike. It is an incredibly enjoyable way to improve your childs riding skills. Because they are attached to your bike, they learn to lean into a corner, unlike the situation with training wheels on their own bike, where they tend to lean against the training wheels as they turn. Because they do not have to be concerned about getting tired, your child can push hard climbing hills, etc, so they will develop strong legs at a faster rate than on their own bike generally. Also because you can go for a longer distances (more than around the block a few times) without the concern of running out of energy, you can go on interesting excursions, so they will be even more enthusiastic about riding (and life). A trailer bike really is a lot of fun to use, when my daughters were young there was a lot of fun to be had on one of these. They had a blast! It's a great way to stay in control and still let your child get used to pedalling and pushing harder up hill etc.
The Weehoo story...
On vacation in Colorado, two parents longed to explore the Vail bike paths. With 5-year old twins, the idea wasn't looking hopeful. The duration that the twins tolerated a buggy trailer was very short. The wife wasn't comfortable riding the long fast decents with a trailer bike. They resigned to walking around town instead. Literally, that night, in a dream, the Wehoo founder did experience what it would be like to explore the valley with his family - by bicycle trailer.
Before his feet hit the floor the following morning, he grabbed the hotel notepad and sketched the Weehoo iGo bicycle trailer exactly as it is today. Once back home in Denver, welders and benders replaced the cars in the garage. Months later, they were riding with their twins enjoying all that Colorado had to offer - by bike!
The twins couldn't get enough of the Weehoo. Rides turned into 3-hour effortless adventures. No meltdowns, no fussing. The children loved the Weehoo no matter how long the rides grew. Conversation flowed between parent and child. The twins engaged the open air, breeze, sights and sounds that nature had to offer. The destination became secondary to the adventure of riding there. It was a success. And the children pedalled. So much so that riding with the children was as effortless as riding alone.
From that point, the Weehoo team didn't let anything keep them from getting the Weehoo to parents who wanted one. Today, the Weehoo trailer is available in nearly all of the top 100 bicycle retailers in the USA and Canada and in several countries around the world, including at Ivanhoe Cycles in Melbourne, Australia.
