These trailer systems also affect the braking behaviour of your bicycle.

Therefore, before riding with a kids‘ bicycle tandem on public roads, prac-

tise riding and brake behaviour without passengers in an area free of traffic.

It is also important for you to practise with your child how to

behave on an attached bicycle during the cycle. Make sure your

child wears a helmet (a) even when riding on a tandem bicycle!

Set a good example by wearing a helmet, as well.

Only buy tested trailer systems (e.g. DIN/GS tested systems)

and have them properly mounted. The manuals of the manu-

facturers that you have obtained together with the trailer system

provide detailed information in this regard.

When riding in the dark the kid’s bicycle attached should be fit-

ted with the prescribed lighting, i.e. the latter should be marked

with a wavy line and the letter “K” (b). For more information see

chapter “Legal Requirements for Riding on Public Roads“.

15.3 Taking the Bicycle by Car

The most convenient way to safely transport your bicycle is to put it into the

boot of your car (c). There the bike is protected from dirt and any dynamic

influences during the transport. Take care to protect the boot of the car.

If necessary, line the boot before stowing the bike. Interior fixing systems

intended to secure the bicycle in the boot can be particularly helpful.

Always secure the bicycle or bicycle components when putting

it/them into the interior of your car. Parts shifting around can

impair your safety.

If transporting the bicycle inside the boot is impossible, nearly every car

accessory dealer and car company offers carrier systems (d) which allow

bicycle transport without disassembly. The usual design involves rails fixed

to the roof of the car onto which the bicycles are fixed with clamps gripping

the down tubes.

Make sure to remove all parts of your bicycle (tools, pannier

bags, child carriers etc.) which might come loose during trans-

port and cause an accident!

Most clamps are potential sources of damage to large-diameter

frame tubes (a) that are not designed to be fixed in such clamps!

This can result in irreparable damage to the frame. High-end, very thin-

walled aluminium or carbon frames are particularly susceptible to such kind

of damage. Due to the material properties of carbon, you may not see a

severe damage at first sight. This can result in an unforeseeable severe ac-

cident at a later date.

Suitable, special-purpose models are, however, available in the car acces-

sory trade.

Rear carriers (b) are becoming more and more popular. Their big advantage

over roof carriers is that you do not have to lift up the bicycles so high to at-

tach them. Make sure the fastenings do not create any damage to the fork

or frame. Risk of breakage!

Do not buy a carrier on which the bicycle has to be mounted

upside down, i.e. with the handlebars and saddle fixed face

down to the carrier. This way of fastening the bicycle exposes

handlebars, stem, saddle and seat post to extreme stress dur-

ing transport. Do not opt for a carrier system with crank arm fit.

Risk of breakage!

Please make sure the lights and the number plate of your car are

not hidden from view. For some carriers, a second exterior rear

view mirror is required by the road traffic regulations.

Whatever system you opt for, make sure it complies with the relevant safety

standards of your country!

Read the instructions of your bicycle carrier and observe the maximum load

capacity and recommended or prescribed driving speed.

Check whether your bicycle is properly fastened before and at

regular intervals during the ride. A bicycle that detaches from

the roof carrier may endanger other road users.

Bear in mind that your car has a greater overall height with the

bicycle on it. Measure the overall height and place a sign stating

the height somewhere in the cockpit or on the steering wheel so

that it can be easily seen.

Never transport bicycles with hydraulic brakes upside down.

This could let air enter the brake system and result in brake

failure.

If your bicycle has disc brakes, be sure to mount the safety locks

before transporting the bicycle with the wheels dismounted.
