I'm after one of those tow along contraptions that attaches to the seatpost - anyone got one gathering dust in a shed?

Haven't got a spare but we bought one of these:

Fixes to a normal kids bike so they can cycle on their own and then hook up when they get tired.
Would recommend it. Better than those 'no front wheel' jobs.

I've had 2.
An expensive Giant with aluminium frame and gears a,d a 2nd hand, cheap steel SS from a DIY market.
Although the steel one was havier, less pretty and needed some extra adjustment, it rode as least as good as the Giant. Sold it a couple of years later for the same price.
You can buy those things used for GBP 25 to 50.-
I wouldn't buy a new one for GBP 300 +

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
