Connect Cycles Boys Bike, 16-Inch Review

These guys really thought through the design of this unit! I worked at a bike shop for 3 yrs so I know bikes quite well. Assembly was a snap and the bike and stabilizer bar are high quality. We also own a separate Gator Bar that uses a 'kit' to connect to any child's bike but the ConnectCycles system is much nicer & feels safer. We like the Gator Bar too but you have to tighten the head tube kit incredibly tight or else the child can tip over (difficult to explain this but I've read other reviews saying the same thing). ConnectCycles must have recognized this flaw because they took what looks to be the same stabilizer bar and instead of using the clamp, they welded a fixture to the head tube of the child's bike - problem solved! The locking mechansim for the steering tube is fantastic too as it eliminates the need for the external bar that is used on the Gator. The only thing that was a minor challenge was trying to lock the child's bike in place when the handlebars are not pointed straight ahead. It took a few tries before I realized this but now that I know it, I won't make the same mistake again. CC should put in BOLD HEADLINES that the front wheel on the kid's bike needs to point straight forward or the pin will not engage. My 3 year old loves it and his 5 year old sister is jealous that her bike doesn't have flames on it. Nice job improving the already good Gator Bar!

BOB Yak Plus Trailer In Black (Includes Dry Sak) Review

A friend and I each carried a BOB trailer 3,751 miles from Dallas Tx to Fairbanks Alaska over the summer of 2003. As we rode unsupported and camped along the way, we carried all our gear in our trailers. We didn't have a single problem. I personally found the BOB extremely convenient especially since there was no need to manage gear weight placement (as with panniers). It tracks like its on rails and was stable at all speeds; we reached 51 mph descending into Flaming Gorge Utah without any fear or hesitation. Bouncing over curbs and down bumpy rutted jeep roads was also a cinch. I later tried it on single track with a Mt Bike and am convinced that it would suffice (no shock necessary) for bikepacking. The only downside is a little added weight as compared to panniers.
