Swedish company Thule is buying up Calgary’s Chariot Carriers.
Chariot Carriers, which makes bike trailers that kids can sit in as parents ride their bikes, is being sold to the Swedish giant.
Thule is probably best known for making the travel containers people can fasten to the top of their cars for long trips.
Thule says the deal presents the perfect opportunity for them to sell to more families with younger kids.
The deal isn’t final though and has to be approved by European competition authorities.
