Pack the Kids — Seven Days of Trailers and Tag‑A‑Long Bikes from Bike Truckee.
Bike Truckee outfits families with every kid‑centric attachment you need for a week on welded frame and paved trails: double Thule Cadence child trailers that carry two kids (100 lb limit) and tag‑a‑long children's bikes for youngsters who want to pedal along — both available only as add‑ons to an adult bike rental.

Complete kid‑carrier options for a full week
Seven‑day rental options cover both double child trailers and tag‑a‑long bikes so families can choose whether kids ride tucked in or helping to pedal; pricing for a full week is listed per unit.
Thule Cadence doubles — roomy and rated
The shop’s Thule Cadence double trailers accommodate up to two children with a 100‑pound limit and include a generous rear pocket for essentials, designed for family convenience on paved trail outings.
Bike compatibility and required pairings
Accessories are not standalone: trailers and tag‑a‑longs must be rented in addition to an adult bike, with tag‑a‑longs restricted to Specialized Rolls and trailers compatible with Specialized Rolls and e‑bikes.
What the day feels like
What it feels like to roll with kids in tow
A weeklong rental gives families the flexibility to plan multiple outings without juggling gear: pick up a fitted trailer or tag‑a‑long at the shop, set a pickup time when you reserve, head out with the provided map of paved trails and helmets, and return the equipment before the shop closes.
