When the trail-gator is not in use, does it have to stay on the adult bike? (i.e. is it a quick release from the adult bike?)

Yes there's was a quick release or you could use the clip that comes with it to stow it and just leave it on the bike.

There is a quick release. The only part that will remain is the mount connected to the seat post.

there is not a quick release. you must use a tool to unfasten the bolt. Not hard but does require some work rather than just the click of a lever or button. Still, this makes you know it isn't going anywhere when riding. Very secure.

I've driven for hours with 2 adult mountain bikes......no problems. Just make sure it is secured.

I have mine on my bike inside on a trainer right now. The wiring needs to go to the back wheel since the front wheel does not turn. The wire is a bit short since it is made for the front wheel, but I made it work. Instead of using the bracket to attach the unit to my handlebars, I just used a wire tie to hold it in place. It is kind of lame, but it does the job temporarily. I hope to get outside with it eventually....then I can attach it firmly to the front wheel.

While I haven't fallen while riding my bike with the leash attached, I could speak to something close. I got off the bike to pick up after my dog, and once or twice my bike has fallen over while he's still attached. He wasn't struck by the bike falling over in either direction - the leash body is long enough that he was still away from it. Same thing happens if you were to just lay your bike down - there's room for your dog to still be clear.This thing really does work great.

Yes, it's a wonderful design to quick release when not needed and snap-on when needed. If the kid is using it to ride it at home, usually it's a nuisance. Hence removed it. Now, outside, depending on the time of the day and Sun, feel free to use/remove it

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.

There is a plug that will release if pulled with a moderate force. I have gotten off my bike, forgot to unplug the cord, went to walk away and the plug came apart. However, I have adjusted and lubricated the plug for easy separation just for such an event.

I take it off! it's very easy and I want it to be secure. When I leave it on is typically when my bike is on it. The front has rack has the ability to have a padlock keep somebody from removing the bike easily. Usually do this after a race when I am stopping to get something to eat. Although the bike and the rack under these circumstances aren't totally secure, it dissuades somebody from fooling around. Hope this helps. Bob

No ma'am. Only the rider comes off and sometimes the weapon. It depends on the rider you select.

This isn't a great answer, but we bought a used trailer for our daughter, and this was the only piece missing to attach it to the bike. It's been used on both bikes and stays on no problem. I wanna say it does, but not 100% sure, and not at home to check.

The top section come off very easily. The two lower sections are a bit more complicated. Unsecuring them from the carrier involves unlatching three buckles, which are not conveniently located. It's not all that hard, but putting it back on the bike more time consuming. You could maybe use the whole thing unsecured, but I would be hesitant. The top part can hold quite a lot. If you were commuting to (let's say) work, most everything you need could be kept in the top section, and very quickly detached and carried in.

You can use it. However it is not designed to quickly place the bike on and off of it.

I am not sure. The trainer came with a quick release. That is how I use it.

Hello,The bike I am using does not have quick release and I did not have to worry about this issue, but I believe the trainer comes with extra plastic adapters to use with your stock skewer. Sorry I can not be more direct, but I believe the description states the mounting system will take either quick release or bolt on rear wheels.

I just purchased mine in September. It came with a replacement quick release for the rear bike wheel, but not for the trailer hitch that attaches to the rear axle. The replacement quick release for the rear wheel is longer for accommodating the trailer hitch which fastens to it with two wing nuts. The trailer detaches from the hitch via pulling a pin and simply lifting it off the hitch. I then bungee the floating hitch to my rear rack. That works very well for me.

What do you mean quick release. The bag just hang on railing of the bike rack and there is a hook attached to a elastic band that connect to the stem of the bike rack. Very easy to put on and take off! Its a good bag had mine for 7 years. The only think I wish it had is a water proof cover.
