Please, review safety tips for bicycle trailer users:
- Children riding in bicycle trailers must always wear a helmet. Proper use of a bike helmet reduces risk of head injury by as much as 88%. Adults should also always use a helmet for safety and role modeling.
- Use a safety flag, which helps motorists see you.
- Use hand signals before turning left or right.
- Pay attention to bicycle trailer weight limits. For child bike trailers, confirm the minimum height and weight and use any recommended inserts for smaller children.
- Follow all posted road signs – a bicycle is part of traffic.
- When riding at night, attach a light to the front of your bike and reflectors to the rear of the trailer.
- When hauling a pet, always secure them with the safety leash.
- Before riding, check the bicycle's connection to the trailer and be sure the tires are properly inflated.
- Practice riding in a safe area before taking the trailer on the road. When practicing, pay particular attention to breaking distance, which increases with a trailer attached to your bike.
