Katie, Annie and Jennifer Howse (13), who saved
her pet-sitter earnings to buy a Doggie Tote. "I love it and my
dogs love it too", said Jennifer, who plans on being a veterinarian.
"Many people on the bike paths have asked
about my new trailer. My enthusiasm about the product is
hard to contain."
John Aucella, Reston CA
"It's by far the best designed and built trailer
that I have ever seen. I've gladly recommended it to
customers (of mobile bicycle repair service) and
impressed onlookers that we meet along the strand."
Kirby Colas, Hermosa Beach, CA
"I had a small crash while riding on a hilly path
recently. When I picked myself up and checked on my boys
I was so glad to see the CycleTote upright with one boy
grinning at me 'fun ride Mom', and the other still
asleep. We have seen all of your competition out there on
organized rides the past few months and smugly smile
thinking how much nicer our CycleTote is."
Mark & Carol Eblen, Denton TX
"CycleTote's customer service is a perfect match for
the exceptional quality of their trailer."
Walt Pavlakovich, Solvang CA
"CycleTote excels not only in the most important
area, safety, but in all other areas that make both
riding in it and towing one a real pleasure."
Martin Amlinger, Redmond WA
"You far exceeded my expectations."
Terry Jones, San Diego CA
"I received your trailer last week. I like it very
much. I went to the Bike Convention in Anaheim and looked
at all of the trailers on the market. I believe yours is
the best quality."
Tom Egbert, Ventura CA
"Last September, my wife, son and I spent a week
cycling in Vermont. Nick was about 2 1/2 years old and
rode in his Cycletote trailer. (We call it "the
tote"). After we returned Nick woke up one morning
and told us he had a bad dream. That night before going
to bed he asked if he was going to have another bad
dream. I told him to try to think about fun things and he
might have a good dream. The next morning he ran into the
bedroom and said, "Daddy, I had a good dream. We
were riding bikes. I was in the tote. It was fun! Daddy,
you're the best dad.""
Anton Nielsen, Dayton OH
"Can't say enough good things about your trailer and
the custom hitch. It pulls like a dream.
Harvey Olander, Denver CO
"This thing works wonderfully. It reeks of
quality."
John Faughnan, St. Paul MN
"Until I tried the CycleTote trailer, I was
convinced that the Burley or Winchester attachment
mechanism was the right way to go. Now that I've tested
the CycleTote, I know that there is no way for the
trailer to tip if my bike falls. Also there is no chance
of catching the heel of my foot on the hitch which can
occur with the others. The full sized wheels are
definitely an advantage. My bike maneuvers the same as it
does without the trailer attached."
Paul Blumenberg, Appleton WI
"I sold my cycletote about 3 years ago - however I
still brag about having owned one. It is the class act of
all trailers - bar none. I was able to resell my trailer
after 3 years for only $25 less than I paid. My son
simply outgrew it. When I'm ready to start touring, I'll
be back."
Bill Boyd, Sunbury OH
"The trailer is taking the daily beatings with no
problems. I have put over 12,000 miles on it. You make a
great product and your service has been even
better."
K. C. Balsey, Boulder CO
"Our Doggietote has arrived! Boy are we impressed!
The trailer handles beautifully (even with a 110 lb dog
and his loot in it)! I have to keep looking back to be
sure it's behind me. Boy is it well
made...impressive!"
Devon & Corey Nichols, Freemont CA
"You have a great product, and the back up has been
excellent, far better than anything I have experienced in
the U.K."
Phil Wong, England
"We rode our single bikes rather than tandem, so we
could each test ride. Only time for 15 miles, then to the
grocery store. We loaded the trailer and headed for the
hilly area near us. Tested and then went home. Then
turned around and headed back to the hilly area to test
some more. What a surprise. Could not believe how nice
that product of yours is. Finally went back home, still
amazed. Then did it again. Hey, the milk would have
soured had we stayed out any longer."
R. Tashchler, Burke VA
"I wish to state that I have never seen a trailer
made so nice. People who see it even remark on it's
craftsmanship. It pulls nice and I am proud of it. Keep
up the good work."
Lyle Sendel, Chadron NE
"I bought one of your trailers last year, and it's
been the greatest add-on I ever bought for my bike."
Stacy Spink, Hayward CA
"We saw tests on bicycle trailers on German t.v. and
yours came out best. We searched the web and found
you."
P. G. Wersgerber, Luxembourg
"There is no comparison. The CycleTote far surpasses
the BOB. With the CycleTote there is no balancing act
when you grind slowly up hills. It doesn't take all of
your strength to keep the stoker and trailer balanced
when your stopped and is much easier to access your
equipment with the velcroed cover. Thanks for building a
superb touring trailer."
Mark W. Jordan, Modesto CA
"It is really a pleasure to work with a manufacturer
that cares so much about his product and customers."
Scott Bendle, Wyoming MI
"Customer service in your company is the best that I
have ever seen."
Vincent Swendsen, Germany
"May I say that over four years of constant use and
abuse, your carts have performed beautifully. With
your utility model handling the needs of the Greenway so
well, I can only assume that the average consumer can
look forward to many years of satisfaction."
Jed Wagner, Denver CO
"Strolling along the cliffs on the Isle of
Wight."
Lisa & Jim Sheffield, London
"Thanks again for the great product - all others
pale in comparison."
Connie Williams, Denver CO
"This trailer is awesome! I am looking forward to
many years of pleasurable use."
Wm. Wilkinson, Lasqueti Island, B. C., Canada
"I was reluctant to purchase something this
expensive sight unseen and was leaning toward a Burley
which I had tested in my local cycle shop. The Burley,
however, was hitched in such a manner that it constantly
struck my foot as I pedaled. Your design, using the seat
post is excellent. Your guarantee to refund my money for
any reason and pay postage was a very strong selling
point too. It's good to see people proud of their
products."
Mark Peters, Waterbury CT
"I know how hard it is to handle problems with
customers. You guys handled it like pros."
Russ Gallice, Oceanside CA
"I extensively read & researched trailers before
I purchased the CycleTote. Everything I read about your
product is true. I should add to your list of testimonies
that we, my daughter and I, enjoyed crashing through our
never-ending Minnesota snow banks this past winter &
early spring while everyone else waited inside for the
paths to clear."
Gail Braier, Woodbury MN
"It's the best $500 I ever spent."
Chris Ringwald, Albany NY
"Dear folks at CycleTote: We bought our tote from
you about 1 1/2 years ago, and it wasn't until now that I
got a great picture of my kids in it! Thank you for
making such a wonderful product - my whole family loves
it! (Especially me)."
Melissa Ammons, Littleton CO
"My husband purchased your trailer about 5 years ago
- we had a 24 month old and a 6 month old. It survived a
fairly serious crash with only scratches to the roll bar
and scratches to our oldest boys helmet. If they had been
in any other trailer, I would hate to think of the
possibilities."
Dawn Spoltman, Piqua OH
"I have had my family model with brakes for about 3
months and thoroughly enjoy it. It has certainly lived up
to and exceeded my expectations. Thanks for a great
product. I feel that my son is as safe as he can be in
your trailer, unlike the others that I looked at. It is
hardly noticeable as we ride our tandem."
Mike Schlegel, Suffolk VA
"Got the trailers - they are absolutely
marvelous."
Gavin Phillips, Sidney, Australia
"Thanks! Service like yours is getting harder to
find everyday."
Leonard Chapman, Warehousepoint CT
"Thanks once again for being the greatest and in
providing such a quality product for me and my dogs to
enjoy."
Kate Penn, Joliet IL
"What a joy this trailer has brought to our
lives."
Jonathon Solomon, Plymouth MN
"The Tote has been a great success, the dogs are
very happy in it - in fact they will jump in it if it is
in the house as if to say - Come on then, Let's GO! I
love the fact that we can include the dogs on our trips
out."
Carolyn Picton, London, England
"Your trailer is awesome."
Dan & Jenn Canon, Panama City, Panama
"Excellent communications, Great packing,
Speedy shipping, Wonderful follow-up! Product as
described! A+++++++++! My hunch was right - you are dead serious about your product and your service."
Mike Apsey, Tampa, Fl
"What others have not spoken to enough is the
minimal effect on bicycle balance and handling that the
combination of seat post hitch, low center of gravity,
and wheel/frame alignment brought while riding. Though
initially somewhat higher in cost, the old adage held
true"
Neil Dunchus, Kinnelon, NJ
"Just a note to tell you how happy I am with the
CycleTote. Safety was the main criteria in selecting a
bike trailer for my kids, and Cycle Tote came out on top.
I used my experience as a mechanical engineer to
thoroughly inspect cycletote design details such as
structural integrity, weld quality and overall fit &
finish; I was very impressed. Thanks for delivering such
a great product that allows my family to have fun
together!"
Scott Ryczek, Cincinnati, OH
"I just got (the trailer) yesterday, put it together
and gave my friend a ride (she is about 100 lbs) it was a
lot easier than I thought. Thank you so very much. I know
my dog will love it."
Andy Hargarten, Austin, TX
"I'm writing an article for the Orange County
Wheelmen/Teamwork Tandem News. The subject is bicycling
with children. You can be sure I'll let readers know how
to contact you and what a pleasure it has been doing
business with you."
Dane Clark, Laguna Hills, CA
"The trailer arrived yesterday afternoon and I've
been smiling ever since. Thanks again for your prompt and
generous service and the pleasure to own one of your
marvelously designed trailers."
Bill Stout, Austin, TX
"Thank you. We have truly enjoyed your superb
product."
Harold M. Voss, Jr., Tulsa, OK
"Just want to let you know that my super deluxe
family model trailer is performing brilliantly, and my
three-year-old loves it. Every morning now he says 'let's
ride the trailer, dad!' I've posted some information and
pictures of my bike and trailer on my personal
website"; see http://www.wisechat.com
Carl Chatfield, Redmond, WA
"This trailer is an engineering marvel..... like
something NASA would fabricate. Thanks again,"
Ellis Lee, Fort Meyer, VA
"This past Saturday, my youngest boy and I did the
Escape New York Ride of 100 miles with the New York Cycle
Club. Danny behaved himself wonderfully during the 8 hrs.
on the ride, drinking milk, eating powerbars and sleeping
were his main activities. The CycleTote performed
terrific, without any problems at all. I am delighted
with it and so are my boys. We are able to do many things
together that otherwise would not be possible. Thank you
for building such a high quality product" Ride pics

John Calo, New York City, NY
“Hi. We are the proud owners of your Family
Model CycleTote, with the running stroller conversion (which is
fantastic). We researched all its safety and construction features and
were not disappointed in the quality. Thank you.”
Dr. Victor Benilous, West Palm Beach, FL
“I purchased a trailer about 10 years ago.
My daughter was just born and really too small to ride in your cart but
she did fine. We have run the wheels off the cart many times. I have
referred my cart to many different people, and have even let people use
it over the weekend just to see exactly what I have been raving about.
You product has brought us many hours of family fun. Thanks a million.”
Ted Loggins, Athens, AL
“I received my touring model trailer today!
I never thought I would actually enjoy pulling a bike trailer. Why
aren’t all trailers made this well ??? I’ll recommend CycleTote highly
to anyone who asks about it.”
Warren Jones, Davis, CA
“I have had the family model for over 8 years
and it has provided my 3 children with the utmost in safety and
comfort. For most of that time it was used by 2 kids at once, plus
groceries. I can’t rave about my trailer enough to people.”
Julie Tavernier, Montuak, NY
“You sent me a conversion kit to turn my
CycleTote kid hauler into a cargo carrier and cart. I needed to schlep
my Webelos den’s gear to our campsite last summer. I loaded down the
cart with cargo for 8 Webelos scouts and 2 leaders. I am pleased to
report that the cart performed like a champ. Your product is top
quality and your support matchless. I can honestly say that my every
contact with CycleTote has met or exceeded my expectations.”
Cliff Samuel, Falls Church, VA

“I can’t thank you enough for designing a
bike trailer combination stroller for kids with special needs. We have
had great compliments on how we continue to have Jordan out and about in
the community ENJOYING life! You’ve made this possible for us -
rollerblading to bike riding. Thank you so much!”
The Billings Family, Longmont, CO
“I would like to extend my most sincere
thanks to you for handling my many inquiries so quickly and accurately.
You are a credit to the frequently misapplied term ‘customer service’.”
Andrew Bathke, Fallmouth, VA
"Who would of imagined that anyone would put
so much care into a product as humble as a bicycle trailer?!?".
