We're moving on the 17th just two blocks away and though the really heavy things will be moved by a small van I thought it would be interesting and helpful to rent a 5-foot bike trailer from our local Bike Commuter Group.

I know on their FAQs they recommend a Mountain bike but my Specialized Globe City 7 seems pretty hardy so I was wondering if you though it could work out ok.. .I would only be hauling up boxes and probably not really heavy loads either.

TIA

I don't see why you'd have a problem provided you're not trying to haul or carry massive weight, which you said you weren't.
