Hey Sixty Fiver, thanks for the compliment. I'm not sure this quite qualifies as a trailer, but it is trailered anyway. My girlfriend can't steer and pedal at the same time, so this takes care of the steering. The handcycle has been modified quite a bit for positioning and gearing for higher than normal road speeds for a handcycle. The hitch itself is a little hard to see, but it does pivot up & down on 4 bearings at the foot cages, and I used 1/2" flexible pvc for a universal joint. This hitch is constructed entirely of steel components for safety, and with 15 degree camber on the rear wheels it's quite stable.
