Lossy, thanks for the head's up. My wife and I are expecting our first Thing
and I've been thinking about getting a trailer. Reading this made me start thinking about what I'll need to do to get ready--practice turns & avoiding objects, stopping with the extra weight, etc.
Oh well, if it means more hours on the bike to make sure I'm ready, I'll just have to deal....
