FollowMe Tandem - Parent-Child Bicycle Coupling

Product Information

After finishing the set up and ensuring all bolts were tightened correctly, I headed out for a shake down ride (without a passenger) to confirm that I’d set everything up right and nothing was going to fall off and bounce down the road. And what a ride it was. The bike felt extremely stable with the Islabike hooked up, with no noticeable rattles as I bumped along pothole ridden roads. Tandemový závěs FollowMe nabízí další způsob cestování s dětmi, když už Vám povyrostou ze sportovních vozíků. Můžete tak vyrazit i na delší cyklovýlet jako celá rodina.

Is the FollowMe Tandem worth the money? - Cycle Sprog

Is it worth it? I have to say yes because not only does it exude quality, but it also feels secure and it is this that is the overriding factor for me. It is of paramount importance that you have confidence in the products you use, especially when it is the only thing keeping your little one attached to your bike. If it means they can continuing cycling whilst bringing up a young family, I’m sure it’s an investment many will make. If you enjoy biking and have kids aged between 3 and (probably 12, I guess), then FollowMe is for you! Install it and also attach the included strap for storing the folded FollowMe to your saddle.

FollowMe Tandem Review - Rascal Rides

The initial surprise at the price tag has been replaced with a realisation that what we have here is not your cheap and cheerful attachment to wobble down to the shops, but a much more precise instrument suitable for those little jaunts but also capable of more demanding and exciting trips – the Coast to Coast, Land’s End to John O’ Groats. For small items we use Royal Mail's 48 service which has a delivery time of typically 2-3 days from dispatch; spreading the cost over a period of 6-48 months without paying interest. There is a calculator on the link All that said, we have heard from several parents that have the FollowMe Tandem, that it has suffered from rust (cosmetic only) especially in rainy climates like Seattle.That said, there are still reasons why someone would want to choose the FollowMe over a tow rope. With a tow rope, your child is free to swerve side to side, so it doesn’t provide the same protection in traffic that the FollowMe does. In addition, FollowMe have also developed a new part for kids’ bikes with hollow axles. This part is specifically designed for smaller starter bikes with 14″ and 16″ wheels and provides a more secure fit. I was getting desperate to know if it was worth the hefty price tag, and more importantly if it would allow us the freedom to get out riding more challenging routes again – something we’ve had to put on hold for 7 years now. It’s not a case of attaching a bar and tightening a bolt and away you go, but more of a logical sequence of stages that take time to work through. However, give yourself a couple of hours to ensure everything is spot on and you will reap the rewards because the end result is extremely satisfying.
