Tuckerville and Tri Girl do a tour

[Tri Girl]

The mirror is from cycleaware. It pops on and off the helmet at will.

What part needs the superglue Mr.? To hold the mirror on the flexy arm (darn thing comes off easily) or to hold the flexy arm to the helmet?

I did some googling last night, Zen. There are some kickstands for the BoB trailer on the market. Don't know if they would fit the cheap version. There is also a double kickstand for the bike that attaches in the same place as the regular one. That one would definitely work.

I think the people who use them without kickstands just lean both trailer and bike against a wall. However, it took a lot of planning ahead to get to a point where I could keep it from falling over. Wide arcs are required. Sometimes you just don't have room for a wide arc. There wasn't a "sweet spot" where it felt balanced, except when I was moving. Once it started falling, it was going over. Even just trying to dismount the bike was a challenge to keep it from falling over.

I finally did start holding the rack instead of the back of my Brooks to wrestle it up. That's a hard habit to break, not grabbing the saddle!

Karen and Tanya--

I'm most impressed with your tenacity in that hot weather. What a great story to share with kids!

I have to glue the knob to the helmet...Once there firmly, I put the flexy arm on it and it works great.

I've only forgotten my mirror on two rides in the last year...and I felt naked and vulnerable without itbut that's probably TMI

I had one of those Nashbar trailers briefly. I couldn't even ride with it empty, but I figured it was just my personal klutziness at work.
