Wow, I love that cover. I'm going to have to look at doing something like that for my little one. I love the Wike trailer but it fills up quickly with the carseat or groceries, usually not both. If I got a BikesAtWork trailer for my next bike (a delta recumbent trike), I would have to fabricate a center-pull tow arm to replace the factory tow arm...
I think I need to take a welding class...
As for me, one of the bolt that connects my pannier rack to the rear dropout came out when I was at the grocery store last night. I made it home, rattling the whole way but I wasn't confident enough in the other bolt to ride in to work tonight ... today was a sag-wagon day.
