I do have a custom trailer that I built.

For light stuff, I use a standard kid's trailer pulled behind my Colnago Super (really old steel road bike).

For heavy stuff, I have my custom cargo bike and custom trailer. I can't say it is quite as refined as the one above, and still needs a little work (like everything else in my life).

Here is the Cargo bike. Sorry, photos of the trailer will have to come tomorrow.

Note, direct rear hitch.


So far I've had about 106 lbs cargo on the cargo bike, and 460 lbs on the trailer (on a different trip with only 30 lbs on the bike). That slowed me down a little bit, especially on the hills.

I found the standard spring hitches on kids bikes to be very annoying as they tend to surge. Unfortunately, somehow I've got a little flex creating a vibration in my bike which is also problematic. Perhaps I got it slightly out of alignment..
