Highlights
Outing Highlights
All the kid’s accessories, ready to roll
Choose between double Thule Cadence child trailers (fit up to two children) or tag‑a‑long children’s bikes so younger riders can pedal while remaining attached to an adult bike. Trailers and tag‑a‑longs are available only with an adult bike rental and have specific compatibility rules.
Capacity, compatibility and comfort
Thule Cadence double trailers accommodate up to two children with a 100‑lb limit and include a generous rear pocket for essentials. Tag‑a‑longs let kids pedal along while secured to an adult’s bike; note each option only pairs with certain adult bikes.
Map‑guided paved‑trail outings
Every rental includes a helmet and a map of the paved trails so you can plan family loops; locks and backpacks are available on request and most bikes have water bottle cages to keep little passengers comfortable.
