REI Trailer Bicycle recalled for fall hazard
September 20, 2007 at 9:24 am

reibike.jpgThere’s been a reported incident that the REI Bicycle Trailer may contain a faulty part, causing it to detach from the adult’s bicycle causing the kid to fall over. So, in the interest of safety, REI is recalling all of its Novara Afterburner trailer bicycles. This model was sold between February 2007 and July 2007 at REI stores for around $160. You can visit your local REI store to get either a replacement part or a full refund/credit.

OK, now that the serious stuff is out of the way, is anyone else picturing a scene from Benny Hill? Britain’s favorite perv distracted while riding his bike by a busty woman, and the kid he’s towing comes loose and goes flying over a cliff. Why don’t they make TV like that any more?

Of course, that wouldn’t be so funny in real life, so if you have one of these trailer bicycles get it taken care of immediately.
