Burley Kazoo Vs Piccolo

Sunny day? Check. Helmets? Check. Packed a lunch? Double check. Young kids want to go for a bike ride?….with a Burley trailercycle that’s a check.

You’ve probably seen trailercycles (or trailer bikes) around. They’re miniature-sized, one-wheeled bikes that attach to the back of an adult bike. This gives kids the chance to get out and enjoy a day of bike riding without falling behind the pack.

Even better, young kids don’t even have to know how to ride a bike to hop on a trailercycle. They can just sit down and enjoy the ride as Mom or Dad tows them along.

In this review I’m going to put two of Burley’s popular trailercycles head-to-head to see which one comes out on top: the Piccolo vs. the Kazoo.

Both are great trailercycles, but depending on your needs one might have an edge over the other.

Weight training is one of the best ways you can keep your body fit. But lifting weights leads to constant friction against your palms, which can in turn make you develop calluses or dry skin.

Weightlifting gloves are designed to reduce the friction against your palms, ensuring that your hands stay soft and smooth.

They also have enough padding to keep your wrists from being strained. Even if the appearance of your hands isn’t a concern, it’s helpful to invest in weightlifting gloves to protect your wrists.

These gloves tend to have padding on the palms. An ideal pair will remain flexible enough to give your hand a full range of motion.

Best Treadmills under $1000

As much as we all dread it, exercise is mandatory for a healthy life.

Many experts recommend exercise at least five days a week for 20-60 minutes, which isn’t a huge amount of time, but add on daily responsibilities such as work, taking care of family, running errands, and just the general chaos of everyday life; it can be a bit tough to make it to the gym.

We tend to put our health on the back burner even though exercise is the key to maintaining a healthy weight, improving cardiovascular fitness, building strong bones, strengthening muscles, combating diabetes, improving mental health, and so much more.

We owe it to ourselves and loved ones to stay fit.

One of the most conventional and beneficial ways to exercise is running, jogging, or walking; and nothing makes getting into shape easier than a treadmill.

You are literally putting on foot in front of the other to stride your way into fitness and health. Having an at home or in office treadmill is time-saving and convenient.

Gone are the days of not having time to get active.

You could surf the web while you jog, zone out to your favorite songs at a fast-paced sprint, program daily fitness goals with personal trainers, and all the while not breaking the bank.

Best Road Bike Saddle for Long Distance Riding

Best Road Bike Saddle for Long Distance Riding

The right bike saddle can have a transformative effect on your riding experience.

Many people mistakenly believe that a high-quality bike saddle will cost too much. But you don’t have to break the bank to find a saddle that suits you.

Bike saddles are available in a wide range of styles and shapes. Different kinds will suit different body types and riding styles.

You might see flat, round, or semi-round saddles. You might also have a choice between scooped or flat saddles.

Saddles also vary widely in their lengths and widths. In the past decade, saddle technology has evolved to try to help you sit on your bones instead of your soft tissue.

But not everybody finds these styles comfortable.

In a similar vein, some seats are padded while others offer little to no padding. Heavy padding isn’t always the most comfortable, since it can sometimes create pressure points.

However, light padding can make you feel like there isn’t proper support for your back.

Ultimately, you’ll need to do some trial and error to pick the perfect seat for you. We’ve put together a list of high-quality seats for long bike rides.

Weeride Pro Pilot Vs Co Pilot Review: Which Is Right For You?

by Breana

Weeride Pro Pilot Vs Co Pilot

If you’re like me, you’re dreading the day when your child finally decides they want to learn how to ride a bike but they’re still not capable of controlling their very own bike just yet.

When we were younger, your parents probably threw you onto your own little bike and coached you from the driveway of your childhood home. While some may still be able to do that, there may be advantages to using a bike trailer to teach your kids how to ride their first bike.

They can learn how to balance themselves with your help without crouching over them the whole time.
They can go for bike rides with you and enjoy them without the stress or worry of them suddenly veering off into traffic.
And if they happen to get tired and don’t feel like pedaling anymore, there’s no more worrying about how to get a child plus their bike and your own bike home all at once.

It’s a win-win situation.

Not all bike trailers are built the same, but we decided to focus on the Weeride Co Pilot and Pro Pilot for this review because they both come highly rated on Amazon.
