Backroads is the only travel company to manufacture its own line of kid’s bikes. While the wheels might be small, the performance is big and the safety superb. On all Backroads Family Trips, you'll find 20" and 24" bicycles for the younger set. They say good things come in small packages; when it comes to bikes for kids of all ages, Backroads is the expert.

Designed for children ages 4 to 10 or up to 85 pounds, this innovative trailercycle is equipped with a six-speed twist shifter. It turns an adult bike into a type of tandem with your child providing some of the pedal power. With the Burley Piccolo, young travelers can exercise some independence while securely connected to an adult's bike.
For children 60 pounds and under, this sturdy carrier easily attaches to our bikes and provides a comfortable ride in the spacious interior with inner pockets for snacks and drinks, an ultra-padded seat with shoulder harness and an adjustable sunscreen.
Bicycle helmets are required on all Backroads biking and multisport trips. Your kids can bring their own or use one of our high-quality helmets, available in two sizes for children and fitted with an easily adjustable retention system.
