We are thrilled to report that Burley Design Coop has resurrected the Piccolo trailer cycle in a beautiful red color:
The Piccolo, like similar products available from other manufacturers, make it possible to instantly convert any adult bike to a child-friendly tandem. The child who has outgrown a conventional trailer, but is not yet able to keep up with an adult on an independent bike, can pedal along or coast on a trailer cycle. What makes the Piccolo different from the competitors is the attachment system. While other trailer cycles attach to the seatpost of an adult bike, Burley provides a proprietary rear rack that attaches to the parent's bike, and the trailer securely attaches to the rack. This form of attachment makes for better tracking and less side to side swivel. The rack also makes it possible to attach the trailer to a non-traditional bike, such as a recumbent.
The multi-speed Piccolo will retail for around $299, and the single-speed version for about $239.
