Can I tow the bike without a child on it?

There is an easy release so that the tandem can be uncoupled. You just open the clip and can pull the kids bike off. You can ride with the bike attached as well without a child on it, but it feels more stable with a child on. We just uncouple the tandem when on lone rides.

yes, you can tow it with out a child on it, it is also very easy to hook and unhook from adult bike if you want to ride solo.

No. My daughter doesn't know how to ride by herself either. The attachment is sturdy so that the main bike keeps it balanced.

Yes, my Grandchild can get off by himself. However he is tall for his age a smaller child might have some difficulty.

The AAP strongly recommends that no children under the age of 12 months be pulled in a bike trailer, because the jostling can damage the developing brain and their necks are not strong enough to hold up a helmet.

Not a good idea. you cannot sit on back rack so no where for 2nd person to sit. but we are pleased with the bike so far with one rider at a time.

You can use the carrier even if you are alone however, you should take into account that most bicycles have a kikstand that is intended just for the bike, that is to say, we never leave our little girl on her seat by herself. Once the child is on board, you can manage to get into the elevator, open doors, etc., without leave the bike. My son does that pretty well without help, I can imagine this could be a little more difficult for a woman, but with everyday practice anyone can do it.

This is adult bike, on mine I have a child seat streapt to the back. So I could take strols around park with my doughter.

Hello. We would always suggest that parents do what they think is necessary, but the Fly Bike does not have pedals and the Bike is used with the child's feet on the ground and their hands on the handle bars.Thank you

I did not attach it for that very reason. It's fine without it for me to use. I ride just fine. My 2 yr old loves it.

I'm able to secure kid's bikes without a tension bar. It probably will hold a woman's bike but the bike will not be in level position without a tension bar,

You you can....I purchased for six and easily have four group together for my kiddos bikes and two for the adult size. Very happy with my purchase.

I've jogged with an infant and toddler together and that worked fine. I've never done that while using it as a bike trailer though. I imagine it would be fine as long as the total weight of the children is within the manufacturer recommendations, but I cannot speak from experience. Hope that helps

No, unfortunately not. It sits low enough though to allow for the child to push the bike with his or her feet though until they learn to peddle. It's an awesome little tricycle though. I wish I had one this nice when I was a kid... Best of luck with what ever bike you decide on.

Yes. There is a bracket that attaches to your bike that holds the tow bar while not in use.

I would suggest you to skip this idea. Training or supporting wheels are not helpful at all. The problem is, that the kids will loose theire sense for balance by using this wheels and need more time to bike "free". Try to train first without the pedals (support by pushing), so your child learns to balance the bike with the handlebar and the body. If the bike was used before as a training bike without the pedals the know it already. The kids learn "pedaling" quite fast.

Not really. I have a lock on the tow hitch receiver, but you would need a long cable lock for that. I cable the bikes together if I need to lock, but with a single bike wouldn't work. I only go to restaurants or short errands if I have bikes on the back. I would never leave them on overnight.

You could but you would have make sure you have the right kind. The bike does not have the usual frame shape so may not compatible with the most common type of training wheels. More importantly, though, this bike is specifically designed to help teach how to ride without training wheels. The kid learns balance first without any pedals, gears or chain in the way. You then add those later (they are included). Hope that helps!
