Trail-a-Bike lights

We have one and love it - absolutely fantastic way to get the kids around on
rides that would otherwise be too long, however, there is no way I would be
using it at that time of night on a road.

Was coming home tonight at about 1720h or so and I saw a lady riding on
Wellington Rd (Clifton Hill end) with a kid on one of those trail-a-bike
thingys. I usually think that these are a great idea but in this case I
wasn't quite so convinced. It was getting pretty dark at this time of
evening and although she had a red flasher on her seatpost, there was no
light on the trail-a-bike. From directly behind, the kid on the
trail-a-bike totally blocked the view of the light!!!!

Unfortunately I was going the opposite way from her so I didn't get a
chance to make a friendly suggestion to either get a second light for the
trail-a-bike or to transfer the one from her bike. Let's start thinking
peoples......

On the bright side, both the lady and her child were wearing helmets and
there was an orange flag on the trail-a-bike that I reckon would be quite
visible during daylight hours.

Yep the only time I've used it at night is with lights and on the
footpath. That's teh only time I feel safer on the footpath.
