Hitched to the back of mom or dad’s bike, the Trail-A-Bike makes family rides a breeze. When little ones get tired, they can leave the work to the grown ups and simply enjoy the ride.
Built with comfort, stability, durability, and practicality in mind. A super low step-through frame, upright riding position, Sun custom tractor saddle, and rear basket are just a few features that make our trike an ideal choice for small trips.
The Townie is the perfect ride-around-town bike. An upright riding position lets you see the world better and plant your feet flat on the ground whenever you want, setting a new standard for comfort and control.
The "Borrow a Bike" program is funded by interest earned on the Avon Lake Public Library Endowment Fund. Bicycles were purchased from Marty's Cycle Center in Avon Lake, OH.
