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.

Subject: Re: [Bikies] Cargo trailer

I highly recommend the BOB Yak trailer.  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.

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:
