trailer in traffic?

I know that the advocates would say why not but, Last night around 7 the Wife and I were in the Southside of Pittsburgh. This is one of those inner city areas that used to be a steel mill and is now a hipster shopping area. Clubs abound and the 20 somethings are out in full force. To describe the street as busy would be an understatement as it 2 to sometimes 4 lane like it was in the early 1900's before all this development.
I see a gentleman on a bike with a small toddler in a trailer behind him. I know he should have all the rights of the vehicular traffic and the right to be there but???? Would not this be like strapping your kids to the bumper in a car and going for a spin? Even the best driver may not judge something correctly and hit that trailer. At first I started to explain to the wife how he had the right to be there then I realized how much danger he was putting his child in.
