Bike Trailer Shop: About Us

BikeTrailerShop.com was conceived of through our collective interest and passion for using bike cargo trailers for fun and utility. As we began to appreciate a greater and greater range of possibility for using our own bike trailers, we began to notice a lack of consistent offering for all replacement parts and accessories for bike cargo trailers. BikeTrailerShop.com was born from our excitement to grab this market by the horns (Yak & Ibex) and create a complete web-based solution. As we grow, we look forward to continually expanding our range of bike trailers, parts, and accessories. If you have made it to this page, you must share our passion for bike cargo trailers and we are always looking for new ideas for products and services, so let us know what you think...
