Sweet.
You can use a flatbed and an Xtracycle to rig a side car too.

I used some drywall conduit and velcro straps to rig it.

Very well. Long sweepy turns to the left, and to the right the wheel will come off the ground, but in general it is very similar to an adult trike.

I just wanted to let you know you're my hero. I'm a photographer and a cyclist.

Having built 2 side cars and playing a lot with the "right spot" for the car I'd have to say that taking that baby into a sharp left down a steep hill would be sure death.
Have fun:)
