Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE TRAILER

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.

THE TAG‑A‑LONG

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.

THE INCLUSIONS

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.

What the day feels like

What the three‑day add‑on feels like

This is a simple, utility‑focused rental: select your dates and pick‑up time, add a child trailer or Tag‑a‑Long to your adult bike rental for a three‑day period, pick up the gear during shop hours, use the provided helmet and trail map to explore paved routes, and return the equipment before the shop closes.

Suitability

Who it's for

Parents of Toddlers & PreschoolersThe double trailer accommodates up to two small children and keeps them sheltered and secure, making it a practical choice for very young riders within the 100‑lb limit.
