Adams Trail-A-Bike
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 "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.
