  1. Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has any experience they can shar
    riding with a twin child trailer (not a trailer bike)? I've found a fe
    that are available on the internet (Burley, KoolStride/Stop, Pacific
    Phillips and Trek have some but they're just rebadged Burleys
    according to the guys at Clarence St) Any other brands to look out for
    Considerations (price, weight (light = $$$), material, harnesses
    hitching method, ability to conert to a stroller (not essentia
    however)) Any others? I'm leaning towards the pacific which is availabl
    on deanwoods.com.au for $399 at the moment - for price, conversion ki
    being included, bit weighty though (not a problem considering how slow
    ride anyway) Does anyone in Sydney carry a range of these?(asking a lo
    i know - but i really like to compare side by side) Obviously i'll tak
    some for a test spin to guage my own reaction to dragging around wha
    could potentially be an extra 65kg (45kg capacity + up to 20kg for th
    trailer itself - man that's a scary thought!!) AND to make sure m
    little girl likes it....shouldn't be a problem - she absolutely love
    the seat we had. We both really miss our rides together - ever since m
    (t)rusty old steed packed it in and I upgraded to a bike with dis
    brakes (which prevent the rack from mounting) Are they really useful fo
    anything more than bike paths? With the addition of a another mouth t
    feed I'll eventually be riding with two and would like to get the missi
    into some touring holidays.....(hmmm around Australia, harvest hopping
    WWOOFing) Is tipping a real problem if you ride carefully? what about i
    traffic?? I've read the recent post on bike trailers that some peopl
    touched upon these things....can anyone elaborate? What I suppose I'
    really looking for is of peoples stories using these things...

    thanks in advance marcu
