Trailers on the Isle of Wight
A colleague of my father's is looking for info on bike trailers. She
has two children, the oldest is about 3 and the youngest a few months old. They are planning to go to the Isle of Wight in May and considering taking bikes or hiring them there. They are looking for advice on trailers and will need on ecapableof taking both children, probably with the younger in a baby seat. So, two questions. Can anyone reccommend a suitable shop in the Woking area (basically anywhere between London and the south coast would do) that has such items for sale/hire? Likewise for cycle hire on/near the IoW. many thanks in advance. ...d |

Their online store suggests that they sell a good range of trailers, but can't vouch for what they'll have in store. http://www.evanscycles.com/stores.jsp Cheers, Martin |

There are two companies in Brockenhurst that hire trailers. It is then only a short ride down to Lymington for the ferry over to Yarmouth bikes free on ferry). They could also use the short train trip on the SW trains 'Heritage line' - which IAIUI now has increased cycle space. IMO this is the best ferry route over to the Island as it lands you in the best and quietest parts. Yarmouth is on the Round the Island route and there is a good cycle way down to Freshwater Bay. When ours were younger we regularly took our Burley trailer (and the tandems) over to the Island for cycle camping trips.

The "heritage" trains should all have a proper guards van, taking up something like 1/3 if the length of one coach. Ideal for putting bikes and trailers in. -- David Hansen, Edinburgh I will *always* explain revoked encryption keys, unless RIP prevents me http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2000/00023--e.htm#54 |
