Trailers in Action!

Thanks for using our trailer program!

Bike trailers reimagine biking for everyday transportation and reduce car dependency by enabling you to haul significantly more than panniers or racks allow.

We’ve seen our trailers used for:

Hauling speakers for a Lake Merritt dance party
Transporting old machinery to the recycling center
Moving furniture
Taking kids on their first bike camping trip
Picking up a printing press

Whether you don’t have access to a car or are committed to reducing your environmental impact, trailers are a great option for getting you and your stuff around by bike. Thanks for using our trailers!
