Cycletote Bicycle Trailers
Eugene A. Sloane
 
Eugene A. Sloane, best selling author of The Complete Book of Bicycling, called the CycleTote family model trailer: “far and away the safest child carrier” and cited the following reasons:
 
1. The trailer is the most resistant to impact, thanks to its hi-strength, tig-welded frame.
 
2. Fore and aft rollover protection is high because it has two roll bars that maintain a safe distance between passengers and the environment.
 
3. Tracking is excellent. The trailer follows the bicycle like a baby duck its mamma.
 
4. You can turn corners more safely and accurately because the trailer has a lower center of gravity that lets it hug the ground even on downhill runs. For even safer cornering the wheels are canted (tilted) about 2.5 degrees, . The trailer turns smoothly as the bicycle corners, without binding or snagging, thanks to the center pull hitch.
 
5. Speed control on the flats or downhill is easily maintained because the CycleTote can come with automatic drum brakes on both wheels. Emergency braking is excellent. This optional unique braking system is automatically actuated when the cyclist applies his or her own bicycle brakes.
 
6. Children are safely and more comfortably tucked into trailer seats with five-point safety seat harnesses. Shoulder harness straps can be adjusted for perfect fits, even for toddlers who can sit up straight.
 
7. For easy cycling, trailer towing and passenger comfort, the CycleTote has full sized wheels, highest quality tires and precision ball bearing wheel hubs which offer low rolling resistance.
 
8. For quick and easy flat tire repairs, both wheels are easily and quickly removed and reinstalled because hubs have a quick release mechanism, just like high quality bicycles.
 
9. The sturdy transparent plastic sides shield little fingers from ever touching wheel spokes.
