Need Trailer for Groceries: Is this a good one?
Single wheel bike cargo trailer -- new
I have a 1980's Cannondale road bike and I need a trailer to haul groceries with for myself.
The trailer seems of steel construction, is maintained, and comes with a waterproof bag.
Yay or nay? Price is firm.
--------------------------------------
Folks that frequent the commuting section told me you're the ones to ask.
The owner set a time for me to see it today at 2:45 PM. I'll have to make a decision then.
--------------------------------------
If you don't think this trailer is a good deal for whatever reason, can you mention some other trailers I might be interested in?

This trailer is designed to be a pack mule for loooong trips. It will laugh at simple grocery loads!

Find out what the brand is! I have a similar trailer that was sold by Nashbar, it requires special nuts to attach to the bike. Nuts were on a bike that got stolen, parts NLA, trailer now useless. I would suggest buying a BobYak parts are still readily available. YMMV. Yes the trailer will haul the groceries.
