Passengers I’ve never had passengers on my bicycle; so I can’t speak with authority. Some cyclists, however, do need to carry passengers; and here are some products that can help. I’ve mentioned the trailer many a time. In fact, I fear I’ve become quite the squeaky wheel about it! I don’t have either kids or
