molwmw ftuialay jury 29 j999 leisure nobody gets left behind bike trailers allow parents to take the whole family along whether its a short trip to the market or an allday excur sion theres no excuse for leaving the toddlers at home any more simply attach the universal joint to the back of your bike strap michael and jessica into their alternative child transportation system act and off you go we do live in the age of acronyms says jamye mikkelsen owner of spoke omotion in newmarket so why not bike trailers too call them what you will bike trailers or act systems the fact is theyre moving out of the bicycle showrooms and oh to the streets where parents have never felt more secure with a child in tow safety is the biggest issue for parents mikkelsen said and theres no doubt about the safety of these products there are numerous models available with prices starting in the 180 range for a onewheel system that hooks on to the back of your bike go for a lightweight frame with a gear system and waterproof cover and you can expect to pay more if you do spend a bit more money you do get actual value mikkelsen said some lowerend models had to be recalled least year because there was more play less sta bility in the construction the tire had a tendency to rub through the canopy to the point where they were burning the childs arm multiwheel trailers many of which can be converted to joggers or strollers start at about 280 and go right up to about 600 again things such as frame construction water proof canopy and larger interior with the ability to have the kids face either way will help determine the bottom line for those of you who are free of restraints at least the kind that require bathroom stops on the hour freeriding is the latest craze say bike retailers say youre at the top of the hill and theres no trail between you and the bottom of the hill said mikkelsen fre riders go straight down and they do it with a full suspension bike you can get one for 400 but you wont get the perfor mance that you get with a more expensive full suspension bike mikkelsen said however until recently free riders had to spend 5000 and up to find a bike that could handle the extreme terrain theres a new bike developed by gt bicycles called the idrive mikkelsen said its a full suspension bike that doesnt suck up all your power they start at about 1400 considering whats been available in the past thats a very affordable price for full suspension capturing the extreme look is all part of the package mikkelsen added thats made the fullfinger glove with the padding on the back a popular accessory this spring but nowhere is comfort more important than on that part of the anatomy that comes in direct contact with the seat cargo shorts with a suplex hockey jerseylike material liner lets you breathe and gives you that casual rider look mikkelsen said theyre very hot this year j william martinen of cyclepath a toronto bicycle retail ersays the biggest change in clothing is that it is specifically designed for cycling everything is more refined whether its meshedback leather gloves in the 15 range or combi nation of leather and synthetics in a scratch and tearresis tant form with vents but dont be fooled by the clothes whats more apt to give away ones seriousness about cycling is the onbike computer that monitors your heart keeps track of time and distance and basically tells you when youre running out of gas martinen said mountains of gear for every type of cyclist v erompage22 although one size fits all theres the mountain bikes or crosscountry bikes that are great for hill climbing because theyre lightweight with a stiff frame and either have no suspension or front suspension the downhillstyle bike has hydraulic disk brakes and six to eight inches of suspension in the front and rear at 50 pounds the weight is a drawback but its built for speed and strength heaver said the dualsuspension or free ride bikes are lighter than downhill bikes but heavier than the bmx they have good traction and are best just for having fun the hybrid bike is great for an older crowd those with bad backs or those commuting heaver suggested because it provides an upright relaxed seating position and bigger wheels and frame the cruiser class bike or beach cruiser a low rider with no gears and a big saddle seat is also just for fun or looking cool he said hus there are tricycles unicycles and more fortunately all bike parts are interchangeable so one can upgrade at any time speeds range from 15 to 27 and doht forget the cycling
