Also check out the Wikie trailers. Two-wheeled, elegant and sturdy construction, lightweight, made in Canada. They make cargo trailers, but also make the adult-sized stroller/wheelchair things for pushing/pulling folks with disabilities who want to go along.

It is lightweight, easy to put on and take off, and handles very well. A friend of mine took his on our cross country tour. I've used mine to carry luggage to the airport and would use it over panniers for touring (much more aerodynamic). You can easily park your bike with the BOB trailer on the back if you are staying with your bike, but the drawback is that it isn't made to come with you, like the Travoy. You can lock it with a cable, and for an extended lock-up, I usually take it off and lock it up next to my bike. If you just want to do around-town chores, then perhaps the Travoy is the way to go. If you think you will ever take the trailer touring, camping, off-road, or long-distance, then I recommend the BOB. -India On 08/30/10, Eric Sundquist <[email protected]> wrote: > I've been looking at cargo bikes and trailers for hauling groceries and other stuff around town. Trek had a cargo at Ride the Drive that seems worthy of considering -- the Gary Fisher Transport. But a much cheaper and potentially better option might be this new Burley trailer, the Travoy, which looks pretty spiffy on line: http://www.burley.com/products/cargo-utilities/travoy.cfm > > Anybody have any experience with the Travoy?
