Bike Trailer

I am really excited that we were able to get a bike trailer for the kids this year. It took me about 3 months to decide on this one. Plus I got a killer deal at a local bike store on it.

A Burley Encore

The encore is "designed for the true adventurist." Just right for what Tim and I like to do, have adventures with the kids. So what kind of activities can you take this little marvel on? Well you can take it biking use it as a stroller; jogger, and even a ski unit is available. There is also extra cargo space in back for groceries or a picnic lunch.

Here are the specs: I found them on the burley website

• Trailer weight = 23 lbs, 10.3 kg
• Capacity = 100 lbs, 45 kg
• Fits 1 or 2 children
• Comfortable seat pad
• Hammock-styled seat system with 5-point harness system
• Interior storage pockets for kids' stuff
• Tinted windows with UV protection and adjustable sun screen
• 2-in-1 all-weather cover with waterproof zippers
• Comes with adjustable padded handle bar and parking brake
• Safety flag included
• 20 inch quick-release alloy wheels
• Fast-action folding system reduces Encore to:
• 35 x 30 x 12" (88.9 x 76.2 x 41.9 cm)

Instead of buying the very expensive stroller wheel which is like $60 just for a wheel. Tim came up with this idea and it works great under $20. As modeled by Bubbles.
