Leo, you make good points, but I don't see myself spending hundreds of dollars to get this going. For the time being, I still have a car, and towing her with the bike is mostly for some extra fun, not utility.

I would definitely make it so that she would not stand up. Being a greyhound, she's pretty top heavy already.

Those adult-towing trailers are interesting. They don't look comfortable to sit in, but I could be wrong. I've often wished I could tow someone home from my commuter train station.

By lashing plywood, I meant to the frame bottom, not to the upper part of the trailer.

gotcha. It was an investment, but people have spent more for more foolish things :wink: I don't fault anyone for going a more home made route.

I really searched for months for pet trailers and I just couldn't pull the trigger on one of the Doggyrides or the AOSOMs. I don't know why Cycletote or Equinox aren't higher in the search hits. I stumbled across them at differently times months after I started looking. Along with Chariots.

I wonder if haltering her seated in a largish Rubbermaid tote, or similar wouldn't be the simplest and safest route? If you can get a tote large enough for a seated greyhound, obviously. Good luck.

3/4 mile is like a 10 minute walk. I'd probably just walk with some kind of a cart with my groceries at that distance, if you consider not having to lock the bike up when you get there and unlock it when you come out, having to hook up and unhook the trailer every trip, and if you have a push cart you can just go into the store with it, it would probably save you a lot of time to just walk with a cart than to use a bike and a trailer.

There are a lot of folding personal shopping carts on the market for pretty cheap.

Where is the fun in that though? and the closer​ one is less than a mile. And that is just the grocery store.

general trailer weight balance, if there is more length needed , the wheels should move back,
some too, so it wont be like a teeter-totter. and then towing oddly.

I recently bought a Croozer cargo trailer for $179 on amazon with free shipping. It works great for me and my wife's weekly trip to the grocery store. It is fun to come up with different uses for it. Last week our car battery died and I hauled it to an auto parts store and then back home with a new one.

shop more often. we really fill a 20L backpack with 2 days of groceries. a set of panniers would easily hold almost 5 days of food.

what am I missing?
