You could give them another try, maybe they've toned down the hippie rhetoric after the recent hard times at Burley. They are no longer a cooperative; I think they are a corporation now. And pretty much run by the guy who bought 'em out...
I have a Burley, and it's been good for me. A lot of the bike trailers are Burley knockoffs - they don't seem better than the original. I like the Chariot - I think some of the Trek-branded trailers are Chariots - it's a different, sleeker design.
I want to get a tandem and let my little tot pull his own weight. He's finally learned to pedal (hooray!) a Big Wheel. I bet we could really bomb down the MUP in a tandem!
