Double Thule Cadence trailers for two children
The shop offers Thule Cadence double trailers that fit up to two children with a 100‑lb total limit and a rear pocket for essentials—designed to carry little ones securely for three‑day rentals.
Tag‑a‑Long children's bikes to keep them pedaling
For kids who want to pedal but aren’t ready to ride solo, Tag‑a‑Long bikes attach to adult bikes so children can join the ride without steering the whole way; compatibility is specified by the shop.
Helmets, maps and sensible extras
All bike rentals include a helmet and a map of the paved trails; a bike lock and backpack are available on request, and most bikes have water bottle cages—small comforts that matter on family outings.
