I didn't even think about the smaller wheel lowering the center of gravity. Maybe I should keep the kids bike I have instead of selling it.
Although I regularly have a trunk bag on my bike, so I'd like a something that mounts low on the frame, but it seems like most of the home built trailer use a seat post mounted hitch. Is it easier? Stronger to build?
