Adams Trail A Bike: Company Background
The trail-a-bike is one half of a bicycle that can be connected to the rear end of an actual two-wheeled bicycle. It is a one-wheeled trailer in a low-seating position to accommodate smaller persons like your children. The seat of the trail-a-bike is made to be lower than that of the actual bicycle to keep it more stable and safer for children.
The trail-a-bike was created by Delbert Adams, a Canadian entrepreneur. It started in 1986 when Adams thought about how to make riding a bike easier and more fun for an adult and his kid. There are others who followed Adams lead in creating a trail-a-bike, but if you want a sturdy trailer for your whole family, the Adams trail-a-bike is the perfect companion for you.
