For Sale: Lovingly Used Burley Piccolo with two racks

[William]

It's a kind of proud and bittersweet moment to admit that my two babies are big enough that we won't be using the Burley Piccolo anymore.  Anyhow, the Burley Piccolo is the nicest of the trail-a-bike style kid tandem converters.  You can go buy a new one at REI for $360, or you can take mine.  It's blue, and has a six speed grip shifter.  It comes with a second rack, so you could run it on two bikes.  Two of yours, or yours and somebody else's.  The extra rack went for another $100 when I got it.  Anyway, I'd like to sell this locally in the greater Bay Area and I'd like to get $250 for the Piccolo with two racks.  If you want me to explain why this is the nicest of the trail-a-bikes or have any questions.  Drop me a line.  There are a half-dozen photos on my flickr.

I have some hours with the Burley, and believe it is much better than the alternatives because of the attachment point on the rack.  Many other trail-a-bikes attach on the seatpost, and in addition to other drawbacks, are for Riv owners a threat to the high point on the lug.  I found my piccolo on the secondary market, don't believe they are still sold in the States.

 

 

I feel the bittersweetness on the reason for the sale, time flies.

I agree that it is by far the sturdiest and safest one to use.

Stupid question, but does the child in question have to be able to balance on a regular bike to use/enjoy the Piccolo? My daughter likes to be trailered around and is grousing for an add a bike but doesn't know how to ride on her own yet.

She only needs to hold on.  The Piccolo tilts with your bike.  If your bike stays upright, the Piccolo stays upright.  It's a great training tool to get her used to pedalling strong, holding onto the bars with a firm but relaxed upper body, and gets her used to the feeling of the bike leaning on turns.
