[QUOTE="motor86, post: 142565, member: 16957"] I have done this a couple of times. We usually attach the rope to the bike by threading it through the actual handlebar and the place that the crossbar pad connects. Then I run the rope to the handgrip and wrap it around that 2-4 times. Start with 2 and keep increasing the number of wraps until it doesn't take much effort to hold it but letting go will immediately release the rope. The back bike doing the braking for both bikes is kind of a good idea, but it doesn't work that great. When the back bike brakes it puts more stress on the tow line and it can break. In cases where the tow strap isn't close to the centerline of the bike, it will turn your handlebars. This all assumes you have a tow strap on you. I have used a tree branch before I started carrying a rope. It worked ok. I just found a branch with a fork in it. I kept a couple inches of the one fork and a few feet of the other. The small fork was used like a hook and was hooked onto the frame of the towing bike. The person being towed held onto the other end. It wasn't the ideal setup, but it worked to get my Dad's bike home. [/QUOTE]
