hello cradduck

my husband always bikes with his trailer. he has a "cyclone"by radical design ( a dutch company that also makes great panniers for lowriders) this is a big bag with two wheels and an alunimiun frame. there is nothing like it. some time's he forgets he has it behind his bike. super bearings.
you take the weels of and the trailer bocomes regular luggage. you can take it with you on the train or on an airplane.
the weight of your luggage is much lower to the ground in a trailer, this gives a lot more stability.
climing may take some more effort. a trailer like the b.o.b is one wheel based and moves with the motion of you bicyle, this you will have to get used to.

my husband is crazy about his trailer!
