VII. Hitching the Burley-Cub to Your
Bicycle
The trailer hitch was designed to quickly and safely attach to
virtually all types of bicycles. It is inserted in front of the left rear
dropout of your bicycle.
Hitching the Trailer to Your Bicycle
Loosen the knob on the eyebolt until the two arms are spread fully
apart. Slip the lower hitch arm under the chain stay (A) and the
upper arm above the seat stay (B). Wedge the hitch cone all the way
back into the angle formed by the stays at the wheel. Tighten the
knob until the arms are firmly clamped against the stays. Wrap the
safety strap around the inside of the chain stay, over the hitch body,
and back to the D-ring at the end of the tongue.
Make sure that the cone is wedged securely into the stays. Do not
overtighten the knob. The hitch should not move, but should allow
the bicycle complete movement, including lying it down on the
ground. It should clear any racks, bags, or fittings you have on your
bicycle. If there is any interference, contact your Burley dealer.
IMPORTANT: Remove trailer from your bicycle when it’s not in use
to prevent deforming the plastic hitch.

on bike paths). We recommend you spend some time experimenting
with a loaded trailer in an low-traffic area to become familiar with
how your heavier, longer vehicle responds.
Prevent Trailer Tip Over
Just like automobile and motorcycle trailers, bicycle trailers can tip
over. To avoid overturning: Do not pull your trailer over curbs or hit
holes or other obstructions in the road. Instruct children not to
bounce, rock, or lean, which can cause a shift of weight. Do not make
high-speed turns or descents when pulling the trailer. Always
corner with caution at 5 m.p.h. or less, as the trailer cannot lean into
a turn the way a bicycle can. Do not under any circumstances travel
faster than 15 m.p.h.—all road irregularities and your slowness to
react are greatly magnified.
Trailers can tip over causing damage to trailer and serious injury to cyclist
or passengers.
Fit, Alert, Adult Pilot
To safely pull a trailer, you need to be a fit, experienced cyclist. You
must be alert, have good sight and hearing, and adequate strength
in your legs, arms, and hands. Never allow a child or adolescent to
pull your trailer because it is likely that they lack the necessary
physical ability and judgement.
No Headphones or Other Distractions
Do not bicycle or stroll with headphones, cell phones, radios, or
other distractions. You must be able to hear surrounding traffic,
and concentrate on safe bicycling at all times.
AVOID causes of tip over, especially:
Children leaning or bouncing
Hitting potholes, curbs, other road obstructions
Taking turns too fast
Sudden swerving
•Off-camber turns
•Improper wheel installation
•Improper tire inflation
