Product name: Retractable Bicycle Tow Strap (2.5 m / 98 in) — strong nylon with elastic rope, 90 kg load capacity Key benefits Makes parent-child and assisted rides easier: the elastic, retractable design absorbs shocks and smooths acceleration and hill climbs so the trailing rider uses less energy. Safe, stable connection: double hooks and a round elastic end create a secure link between bikes while maintaining controlled distance and predictable handling. Quick to attach and compatible: fits most bicycles and riding styles — road, gravel, commuting, and light mountain biking — for everyday use. Main features Material: heavy-duty nylon webbing with an integrated elastic rope core for stretch and rebound. Length: 2.5 m (98 inches) working length, giving ample separation and flexibility while keeping the pair close enough for safe control. Load capacity: supports up to 90 kg. End fittings: sturdy round elastic end with double hooks for reliable attachment. Distance control: designed to maintain a comfortable traction distance (up to 2.50 m) and reduce sudden jerks. How it solves problems Reduces fatigue for children or inexperienced riders by providing steady assist on flats and climbs. Absorbs shocks and minimizes jerky motions when accelerating, braking, or navigating uneven terrain. Keeps two bicycles connected without impeding steering or compromising handling, allowing the lead rider to maintain control. Basic use and compatibility Attachment: connect one hook to the saddle area of the leading bike and the other hook to the head tube (or suitably secure point) of the trailing bike. Verify both hooks are latched and the strap is routed clear of spokes, chain, and moving parts. Compatible with most adult and child bikes; suitable for family rides, commuting with a passenger child bike, training rides, and light off-road use. Recommended maximum combined load on the tow line: 90 kg. Practical scenarios 1) Uphill family rides: Parent leads on a full-size bike and gently assists a child on a smaller bike when climbing steep sections. The elastic tow absorbs surge and helps the child reach the top without exhausting them. 2) Teaching and transition rides: Use the strap when teaching a child to ride longer distances. The trailing rider gets support while learning balance and cadence without being towed rigidly. 3) Short commutes and errands: Attach the strap to keep a small trailer bike or child’s bike connected during neighborhood trips or short commutes, providing stability and confidence in traffic or on mixed surfaces. Safety and usage tips Always inspect hooks and webbing for wear before each ride. Ensure attachment points are secure and that the tow rope does not contact the rear wheel, chain, or brakes. Ride at a controlled speed and avoid sudden braking or sharp maneuvers while towing. Not designed for jump, stunt, or high-speed motor-assisted towing.
