Via BikeTrailerShop.com Email: We ride a tandem for touring and are looking for a two wheel trailer. We did the TransAm towing a BOB but could never learn to stand with the loaded trailer. We tow our grandchildren in a Burley D’lite and standing is no problem. The choice in two wheel touring trailers seems…

Lisa's Bike Trailer Train
The trailer-cycle/bike-child-trailer train, is a rare creature that reveals itself in parks with bike paths and suburbs with low traffic.

Bike Cargo Trailers for Hunting
I have a question on the Wandertec bongo (large) size. Are these trailers strong enough to take off road. Will the hitch bar handle the stess off a rutted muddy fire road. Being the hitch is mounted to the frame (ie back wheel). Will this stress the frame of my mountain bike causing stress cracks…

Trailer for transporting a large dog
Would it be possible to haul my 184 pound Irish Wolfhound behind my Cannondale Jekyl mountain bike, or my BLT steel touring bike? Both are geared very low, and I am interested in using it on nearly level paved bike paths. Could the Surly Bill Bike Cargo Trailer be adaped to such use? The dog…

Batman's Bike Trailer
Batman, who apparently also moonlights as a keyboardist, sent in this photo of his bike trailer setup. I’m guessing that the somewhat blurry, dark photo was taken as Batman was jumping on his bike to chase after a criminal in between gigs. Or perhaps it was intentionally blurry to hide some of its alternative crime…
Best Cargo Trailer for Beach Gear?
I was wondering which bike trailer would be the best one for transporting beach chairs and a cooler to the beach. It will be going over paved roads and parked near the beach, so it does not need to be sand-capable. Any suggestions? Beach hauling duties are quite a popular use for bike trailers. We…
