Burley Bike Trailer

For over 30 years, Burley and the Burley bike trailer has lead the bike trailer market by producing the famous bike trailer, as well as a variety of child bike trailers. Recently, the company launched a new commuter trailer that was officially presented at the 2010 EuroBike tradeshow where it won a Gold award for quality, efficiency, and safety.

Started in the 1970s by Alan Sholz and originally called “Burley Bike Bags”, Burley rapidly became the ultimate bicycle trailer manufacturer in the country. Several years later, it developed into a worker-owned cooperative and was eventually sold to an Oregon businessman who has continued to improve the design, durability and comfort of all Burley bicycle trailers.
