Where Are Some Crusing Areas In Snj

The Triobike Denis

"9 months ago, I bought the Triobike internet with some trepidation. At the time, no access to a single forum on the subject, or any notice of manufacturer or other ...
Since I ride with every day, winter included. I offer a small inventory of positive and negative Triobike.

Pros:
Children are hyper-protected and run no risk of falling or projection in case of side impact or cervical problem frontal impact, it's really their safety and comfort take precedence. The hull form is very soft, large enough (the space in front of the children has the volume of a shopping cart), the seats are comfortable and the integration of the rain cover and sun allows the outputs pleasant by any time. The

Triobike is very easy to handle small and very low speed. The half perimeter towers are a low snap. The overall stability can stop anytime and instantly get the cycle.

For transmission, the torque is huge and the increase in speed. This is the triangulation of wheels that allows truly strong support on the pedals if desired. Without wishing to achieve a performance or a race, you can drive at high speed even at full load and feel the same security. It should still provide some braking distance.
No maintenance is required (all cables are integrated into the chassis, full chain guard) which is a good thing since there is no dealer in France today.

Cons:
The manufacturer provides no grip council cycling. If the road is very convex, we must provide a substantial and sometimes uncomfortable effort to compensate, at the beginning it seems that the boat part in cabbages. We must learn to negotiate the sidewalks curves fitted by taking an angle to avoid a shear effect, the habit comes after 4 / 5 sidewalks poorly negotiated. There is an imbalance
"front-back" but only before getting on the saddle and full load (child + a large volume of races). This is due to the choice of placing the hull 2 wheel well back to emphasize the quality of the bends. So, in case of large load on the tip, you either have someone hold the seat is asking the children to load. In short, not easy ...
tires deflate too quickly, they must inflate every 1 to 2 months.
The absence of stand can be inconvenient to stop if the ground is not flat. You can use the hand brake on the stroller for this purpose, but the change in the position of the cable (to bike stroller) still takes 10 to 15 seconds. The bar below the hull, provided for storing the front wheel (which is added when you go bike configuration) tend to rub when climbing very fast on a curved sidewalk, this case occurring fortunately quite rare.
The painting of the chassis and the shell is green (water) but does not stand much impact or dirt.

The notice of a "triobikeur" on the bicycle-wheelbarrow
I really enjoyed the comfort and elegance of cargobike cruising speed: little effort is needed to move once the missile launched and its narrow width is a real plus. The distribution and overall balance of the masses "front-back" is well thought out.
Another example is the possibility to easily integrate a maxi-cosi and "natural" materials and overall appearance of the bike more nature-barrow. Personally I do not like the aesthetics of high-tech Triobike.
Currently I have no preference for one system or another. Everyone who really many extras certainly different, it would be best to try both before equipping.

Conclusion:
My wife Florence who did not practice at all the bike so far has felt very safe on the triobike that offers a no-fault on this point. For my part I think the triobike perfectly meets our needs for mobility and frequent operations (shopping, children's travel, business travel by bike or scooter simply ,...).

Overall I would say that the principle of Triobike with his slurred, his low center of gravity, its natural stability at rest, provides a relaxed driving, even reckless dilettante, especially for frequent starts and stops in the city generally.
I also ordered an electric assist, a priori available at the end of the year, I'm probably the first to try it ... This assistance can do wonders, especially in places where slopes are very numerous and almost impassable in standard bicycle, scooter therefore totally impractical or otherwise.
For us and our greater family happiness, the triobike fully replaced the use we were doing every day of the car. "

What Will Happen If I Put Orajell On My Penis

The Trail-Gator

Jules Arthur and begin to make good progress on their bikes and system pulling a bike child becomes necessary if one wants to go on a long walk.

I borrowed a Trail-Gator to get an idea of the system before you buy.

.

It takes about 70 € at Decathlon to get this model.

.

Mounting:

Overall, the parts seem good (the bar weighs pulling its weight) and the installation is not too complicated. It should still count for a good hour to put everything in place first, before going on trips.

For the fixation on the adult bike, a good set of necklace can fit on seatposts from 25 to 32 mm in diameter.

The bike towed child will be a 20''max. The first big disappointment is the inconsistency of the fastening system with a brake front center pull. This is even more problematic than is the solution adopted by front brake Decathlon for all its bikes to 18 children.'' In short, it works on the bike Arthur (left), but not that of Jules (right).

edit: accessories sold separately used to tow a bike with center pull front brake.

Second concerns discovered in the aftermath: the clip attaches directly to the frame of the bicycle child! Attention to painting ...

edit: adding a piece of chamber air, it protects the paint on the frame

.

Installation:

The drawbar fits easily on the attachment of the bicycle child, everything is blocked with a skewer.

A plastic bar is used to lock the handlebars of the bicycle child by binding to a ball attached to the forks.

In all, the fixation bicycle adult child on the bike takes 30 seconds, watch in hand, without tools.

Everything is installed and tightened as recommended by the instructions very detailed.

.

Test:

The first round vacuum to get the hand, is quite positive: the bicycle child follows the path of good adult bike, although slightly further inland in the corners . But we made it very quickly. No worries for hauling the kids' bikes vacuum.

Arthur climbs his bike and go! The sensation is much like a trailer with two notable differences:

- when the child pedals, it feels really help, especially valuable at the start of the coupling. However, the child quickly churns into space as soon as it reaches a certain speed.

- to start or passage of a donkey, the adult bike has a slight tendency to pitch up. However, my Dutch bike weighs heavy (about 20 kg including all accessories ...). I imagine the effect on an ATV aluminum ...

And then, boom! After turning a little tight, tie the bike child turned on the frame ... Having not won a tool, we are forced to walk home because the child looks damn bike.

Back at home, I see the damage on the frame: the painting is dead.

As there is nothing left to lose, I will retry the test, this time tightening the tie as a bully. After one or two kilometers on flat tarmac (in the streets of Strasbourg), the tie was again slightly turned. Therefore impossible to go for a walk without tools and / or on land a little chaotic, unless attaches to weld on the frame of the bicycle child ...

.

When not using the pull rod, it fits on the side to release the luggage rack. Last nasty surprise on my bike and luggage rack wide, the bar comes to store just behind the pedal, making it difficult to pedal. I am therefore obliged to let her put on the luggage rack.

Note that the system is totally incompatible with a child seat rear suspension (type Hamax) and carrier stroller .

.

Review:

The drawbar Trail-Gator is the most widely marketed, but its use should be very casual and city to be satisfactory.

As it prevents the use of many accessories dedicated to the city (luggage rack, rear child seat, stroller door), it will be necessary to mount and unmount every time, unless you have a bike completely dedicated.

edit: the newer model secures the drawbar on the adult bike attachment also with a skewer. It is a notable improvement that qualifies the initial notice: no need to necessarily all mount / unmount every time.

.

For regular use, so I advise families to buy the bike drawbar Trail-Gator and turn instead to the FollowMe .

People Ask Masterbate

The bicycle-wheelbarrow Karim

"I bought via the website http://www.cyclable.com/ one solution Bicycle-wheelbarrow cheapest we can find in France: the estimate is based to 1199 € for the long model.

model sold by http://www.bakfietsweb.nl/ to 599 euros cyclable.com is improved by replacing the original parts deemed poor quality brakes, transmission components, tires, grips, lighting, pedals, saddle (list given by cyclable.com).

bike Features:

galvanized steel frame

Wheels: 26 inch rear, front 20 inches

Tires: Schwalbe Marathon Plus indestructible road width 1.75

Other equipment: Body-skirts, fully enclosed chain guard, rain-proof tent transparent, anti-black rain Cover, Seat harness with 2 children.

options:

Nexus 8-speed, hub dynamo, customization of the box, coaster, and even power-assisted (custom quote). Boris
Wahl of cyclable.com responds quickly and accurately to mails ... before and after purchase!

My configuration:

I first thought of an electric assist, the streets of Auxerre being very steep ... But the estimate to 2600 euros thinking ... It must also be said that the electric assist adds quite the bike that becomes more difficult to raise when needed.

I finally chose a model with 8-speed Nexus coaster and more economical than with rear brake: it is an excellent choice well for slow (V-brakes front seems a bit low), the drawback being that it is more difficult to position the pedal to start.

Your price: 1099 €

Finishes:

The finish of the bike looks good, but it will take me back to judge the wear of parts and crate (wooden lacquer); Plastic fasteners of the straps are of poor quality but easily replaceable. I read some concerns about the nature of the folding frame: I certify that the seller is probably the most solid and I do not think it is fragile and can store or carry your bike more easily (it should still provide a good utility ...).

First impressions in use:

proven

First impressions seemed to me like what I read here and there on the first use of bicycle-wheelbarrow, regardless of the model: it is s get used to the length and turning a bit unusual, but it comes very quickly and found the sensations of driving a two wheel, very pleasant ... while taking up less space than a scooter. Once loaded (In my case with three little kitties three years, the total weight of 45 kgs), there is no balance problem, the center of gravity low enough ... provided of course to run over a minimum speed!

Behavior in the ribs:

That's where the rub: the bicycle-wheelbarrow (without electrical assistance) is hardly suitable for very steep streets. The acceptable percentage would be specific to each, but as the driving is very nice on the plate, as we feel the weight quickly from any side ... Auxerre is a city high altitude, I thought a lot about my journey to find acceptable routes, not too steep. In this case the scooter might be better because the stability on three wheels does not require a minimum speed ... But also the scooters are often heavier!

Conclusion:

In short, it seems as if the finishes are not those presented elsewhere on this site, this bike is a great prize.
If there is no problem in cities such as Strasbourg and Toulouse, we have to think about buying then the steep paths in the cities. In passing one notes the Dutch design and wooden, quite heavy which is not embarrassing in a flat country but often win here to be replaced by a compound lighter (and often just as strong or even stronger). Purists had complained that such a solution the use of oil in the initial design, but when we travel by bike every day, you may well enjoy a little reckoning of black gold ...

I saved the best for last, namely the pleasure to ride a bike without polluting, without eating, without disturbing, no other sound of laughter children in the wheelbarrow on the pavement ... "
