Family Wheels: Kid’s Trailers & Tag‑A‑Long Bikes — 5‑Day Rentals in Truckee.
Truckee’s paved trails are made for family rides, and Bike Truckee stocks the accessories to bring the kids along: double Thule Cadence trailers and tag‑a‑long bikes that let smaller riders pedal while an adult controls the ride. Rentals are offered as five‑day packages and come with helmets and a map of the paved trails so you can plan easy, kid‑friendly loops.

Double Thule Cadence Trailers
Thule Cadence double trailers carry up to two children and include a generous rear pocket for essentials; trailers have a 100‑lb limit.
Tag‑A‑Long Bikes Keep Kids Pedaling
Tag‑a‑long bikes let children pedal along even if they’re not ready to ride solo — they’re an engagement tool that keeps little legs involved while an adult steers.
Five‑Day Rates and Essentials
Five‑day rentals are the standard offering: child trailers at $140 and tag‑a‑long bikes at $100; accessories are only available as additions to an adult bike rental and require you to select a pickup date and time.
