How does the M-Wave Trail Rope attach to the bikes?

One end loops around the towing bike's stem, handlebar or saddle frame, and the two included carabiners clip the rope to the second bike. The existing loop and carabiners mean no tools are needed.

How far apart can the two bikes be?

The strap runs about 150 cm released and stretches to roughly 360 cm under tension. That range covers most tag-along and child-bike spacing.

Is it safe for towing a child in traffic?

It is meant for sport and leisure, not road traffic. The elastic rope gives no rigid control, so use it on quiet paths and only with a child who can steer and brake.

The tow rope and two carabiners. Nothing else is included.

The rated towing capacity is 170 kg, which covers an adult on a bike. The pulled rider still has to balance and brake, so it suits fit adults on easy terrain.

When is the price lowest?

This is a low-cost accessory, so discounts are small. Watch the price history around spring and early summer, when bike accessories are most discounted.
