Towing a Second Bike

[BeltzerNYC]

I currently have two bikes and can think of a few situations where I'd like to tow one on another (especially if I get an eMtb).

I know I've seen a metal front wheel holder before, but seem to also only find strap based solutions.

anyone have experience with or have seen a good setup?

As soon as you lean into a turn, you'll have a mess. Get a bike trailer.

I take it you would weld this somewhere on the rear rack?

No reason to make it harder to build. I mounted mine on a wood cross bar and drilled and bolted to the trailer frame. A rather inexpensive Schwinn branded trailer turned out to be a really good buy.

hmm I'd like an option without a trailer, but I'm sure I'll be limited the same way as I run rear pegs. can you post a pic of your set up?

Sure but it'll be a few days before I get back to my shop.

Check this out - particularly the 2nd rack mod to keep the fork low. Should keep the balance a bit more manageable with a taller bike.

There are other variations on this type of mod in youtube land as well...

I've been thinking about doing this to tow my dirt jump bike up the humongous hill that's between me and the local pump track, and found this: https://mschausprojects.blogspot.com/2020/07/how-to-tow-bike-with-another-bike.html A little different from the usual methods, and looks really effective.
