Do I need to get the spray plaster out?
Having had Big Bertha arrive and be fitted I have noticed there is no stem space under the saddle for the hitch for a wee hoo to go, let alone any other type of tag along type thing to go....

Does anyone know of a wee hoo type tag a long that fits to the wheel nut like bike trailers do?

It would need to be a proper seat like a wee hoo with pedals for the small person to pedal not just sit there

If any of that makes sense can anyone assist?

Or does anyone know of a work around if the saddle post is not available to attach the saddle post attachment to.

There's definitely one that has a fitting on a rack rather than the seat post. Don't think there's one that hitches to the wheel though, as they generally pivot more than a trailer.

Try the follow-me tandem (there's a thread on this board somewhere). I don't think that needs exposed seat post but I could be wrong.

The rack would be okay too

Nope to attaching bike to bike, basically I want something she can fall asleep in but also pedals herself i.e. the Wee Hoo but without a seat post attachment
 
The original Islabikes and some of the Burley ones used to have a rack with an upright that the trailer bike fitted to

The fitting was like a fork stem, and the headset of the trailer bike fitted on to it.

Roland do a similar item for their trailer bike, and you can buy additional racks with mount.

Could be worth ringing this company for advice as to whether it can be used with other makes

Having had Bertha seat adjusted by a man that knows about these things :blush: I had the saddle to low for me now I am no longer wobbly I have lots of seat post available for wee hoo attachment, however, it says in the manual that you cannot attach it to a bike with a rear luggage rack that Bertha does have

and I do not want to remove, but, then I see pictures like these, that clearly do have a luggage rack at the rear (see below) so am I misunderstand what a rear luggage rack is? or is it bike type dependant.

My tagalong easily passes over the rack on my bike.


So I have got the right bit then, sorry to seem :wacko: but I sometimes get a bit confused over what is called what on the bike :blush:

Might depend on the shape of the thingy* that fastens to the stem seat post** compared to the shape of your rack.

Tested a Wee Hoo and it all fitted fine so one arrived at Christmas...

Now they are offering to ship one of these All Weather Canopies to the UK (this week only deal) for $100! Oooh I think that might be a yes in this current weather!
