A quick test proved that it’s almost impossible to start from a stationery position when the child’s brakes are applied (though he was riding an Islabike, which has serious braking capabilities). I further try to offer parenting advice from a dad's perspective and useful tips on how to become a full time Stay at Home Dad. But it doesn’t matter what kind of bike you ride: Be it a mountain bike or a street bike, be it an e-bike or an ordinary “bio bike”, be it sportive or casual. Finally, know that there is hardware that remains semi-permanently installed on both your bike and your child’s bike (the most noticeable of which will be a bracket on your kiddo’s down-tube as well as pegs that extend from your child’s front axle). Thankfully Chris was on hand to demonstrate how to hook the child’s bike to the FollowMe, which wasn’t as complicated as the instructions made out.

As I was riding along I was starting to plan the logistics of future trips out – suddenly the difficult period between T being too big for a bike seat but too small to complete a decent length ride has disappeared. I’m always intrigued by how pullalong items react when cornering and I’m pleased to report that the FollowMe Tandem has a very fluid motion in the bends, with no slewing or jarring felt by me up front. The eyelets on this particular bike (for attaching racks or mudguards) are very close to its rear axle. it should be noted that you need to cut the metal strip on the bracket that fits the child’s bike to size. Unless you’re an octopus, trying to maintain the balance of two bikes and a FollowMe Tandem is no mean feat.Its not light but I wanted a solid connection to the towing bike that did not involve the seat post. The biggest difference is that it attaches to the parents bike at the seatpost rather than the rear hub.

He loves to ride, but does get tired out, so we are looking to get some sort of hitch to help when he’s too tired to carry on. I’m currently used to riding with T on an Oxford Leco Top Tube front seat whilst pulling N on a tagalong, and before that had various trailers, so for me the FollowMe was an easy transition. The sense of freedom to ride much more freely than I’ve been able to with the kids in tow has been amazing.

Leafing through the manual it is apparent that setting up the FollowMe is not for the faint-hearted, with the setup being quite an involved process.It allows parents to attach their kids’ bikes to the rear of their own bikes and then ride together with them. I can ride safely on busy roads with bike attached, and it’s v easy and quick to take the bike off when we reach school, or the park… it’s also very quick to take off the whole followme if I don’t need it for a journey.
