Cool video clip Andy.

I am presently building a small trailer (15lbs) to tow behind our bikes (pedal) so we can ride, and pick up groceries, etc. I thought the extra weight would be an issue but your video clip has put my concerns aside...lol. Thnxs for the link.

That is neat...can't wait to pass it around on the bicycle board My biggest concern with a rig like that would be the stopping.

We only towed it around a fairly level parking lot at the Ford Assembly Plant down the road. I am planning on taking it in the Santa Clause parade this fall where there are a couple of hills. I am going to connect a Jordan brake control to the bike brake cable on the bike for stopping.

I was surprised how easy it was to get moving and tow on the level. Going up hill would be a different matter.

Hi, neat video Andrew; What was the tongue weight at this time? I'm guessing about twenty pounds or less.

My favorite bike is my Greenspeed Anura. Photo shows a electric push trailer i concocted for it for commuting.

We also have the pedal driven Hobie kayaks.
