Bike towing bike

[john_p]

On my way to work got stuck behind one bike towing another bike..

At least they didn't hold me up - they were motoring along nicely

Can't believe that was legal! Is it? Both bikes had reg plates.

It's certainly legal to tow with a bike so I don't see why not.

Yes...its legal to tow a bike with another.

Yes its legal and an exception to a rule. I believe although I'm sure the bib will correct me: A bike can tow a trailer provided its no more than 1m wide. The weight being towed is no more than 2/3 of the weight of the bike upto a maximum of 100kg (its this 100kg bit I'm not certain about). There is also loads of rukes about displaying weights, and proper trailers etc.

The exception to the rule is that you can tow another bike (even if its over 100kg).

I seem to recall that the rider can be on the bike as well but that may be complete b*ll*cks.
