As it is now dark when I do most of my deliveries, I figured I'd try to stay ahead of the game and put some stupid bright flashing lights on the trailer....
I hope that people can see me now
Forgive me if I sound dumb but im really confused by that statement!!
So you get around there stepping out.... SURPRISE by putting lights on the
BACK of the trailer?
Ouch! WTF was that!?! Oh iv'e just been ran over by something that I didn't see behind that bike! Its ok I can see it now iv'e been ran over and its on its way up the street, it was a bike trailer. I cant tell by those big red flashing lights...
If stepping out is a problem then you need to put some little white flasher lights on the
FRONT (each side) of the trailer so people can see it behind your bike and not step out too soon.
Sorry if im nit picking but iv'e just had one of those days and I need a rant
Nice trailer BTW, I like the way you have incorporated the trailer brake.
