Explore Victoria with ease: an innovative Trail‑A‑Bike rental lets you attach your child’s bike to yours so the whole family can move together without the stress of tired little legs or multiple bikes to manage.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE GEAR

Attach and go

The central innovation is a hitch system that fastens your child’s bike to yours, so tired riders can stay on the route while you continue exploring together.

THE FAMILY

Designed to keep everyone happy

This rental approach is built for family outings — it removes the downtime of walking a tired child and keeps the group moving as one.

THE SCHEDULE

Flexible rental windows

Rentals are offered with flexible durations to match your plans, from single‑day outings to week‑long stays that let you set the pace.

What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

You rig the Trail‑A‑Bike, clip helmets on, and ride off as a single moving unit: parents in control, kids still pedaling when they can, and a simple hitch to shoulder the ride when they can’t—turning a city jaunt into a seamless family exploration.

Suitability

Who it's for

Parents with young riders (ages 5–11)Specifically designed for children aged 5–11, this rental keeps younger cyclists engaged while providing a safe fallback when they tire.

Groups with multi‑age kidsFamilies with children in the 5–11 bracket can use the system to keep group momentum, making mixed‑age outings more manageable.

Solo adult riders without childrenIf you’re riding alone and don’t need to tow a child’s bike, this rental’s primary benefit is less relevant—it's tailored to family use.
