I can't figure it out, but I really like this bike. Its simple and sophisticated. Me likey.

P.S. - How do those Schwalbe Big Apples run compared to slicks?

Not only does this bike kick butt @ DR, it also does great as a kid hauler.

Dave, be careful of those plastic rims, there is no lip inside the rim for the tire bead to catch on, I had a blow out shortly after getting one of those InStep trailers and switched to my old steel rims
(bike was parked, tire blew off the rim about 5 mins after a 4-5 mile ride)

I attributed it to having both girls (4+6 at the time) in the trailer and heat generated by the ride

Thanks for the heads up Bill, this was our first ride with the trailer. We did about 25-30 miles that day. The trailer was bought new still in the box @ yard sale. The guy wanted $10 but I talked him down to $7.

good price , Vinnie's mom paid about 100$ for their's, new at Target !!!
(I inherited it when they wore the fabric out on their first one)
they have since wore the fabric out on that one and I recovered it in fabric donated to their cause by a very nice guy here on the forum (he bought one used and only wanted the frame for a cargo trailer )

the people here rock !!!
a progression of trailers !!!
