THE ACCESSORIES

Trailers and Tag‑A‑Longs Built for Kids

Thule Cadence double trailers carry up to two children with a 100‑lb limit, and tag‑a‑longs let youngsters pedal along while remaining attached to an adult’s bike—ideal for families who want to keep kids engaged without requiring them to ride independently.

COMPATIBILITY

Know What Fits Your Ride

Tag‑a‑longs are compatible only with Specialized Rolls; trailers work with Specialized Rolls and e‑bikes—confirm compatibility when you reserve so the child accessory pairs with your adult rental.

VALUE

Six Days of Family‑Friendly Rolling

Six‑day rental rates keep costs straightforward: tag‑a‑long bikes and double trailers are priced per six‑day block, letting families plan a week of easy circuit riding without daily hassles.

What the day feels like

What It Feels Like

Renting a child trailer or tag‑a‑long from Bike Truckee turns paved trail miles into a family conversation: kids ride in comfort or pedal along, parents steer a familiar adult bike while helmets and maps come standard so you head out ready to explore Truckee’s smooth, family‑friendly routes.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits—and who should look elsewhere.

1
Active FamiliesPerfect for families who want kids along on paved loops but not riding independently—trailers and tag‑a‑longs let children participate while adults provide steering and power; rentals must be added to an adult bike booking.
2
Parents with Young ChildrenWell matched: double trailers seat two children and protect them from the elements up to a 100‑lb limit, while tag‑a‑longs let toddlers pedal without having to balance solo.
3
E‑Bike RentersTrailers are compatible with e‑bikes at Bike Truckee—confirm pairing when you reserve to ensure secure attachment.
4
Groups Without an Adult BikeNot a fit: child trailers and tag‑a‑longs are available only in addition to an adult bike rental, so you’ll need at least one adult bike as part of your booking.
