Default Bike Transport Trailer?

Does anyone know where I can find an enclosed trailer to transport bicycles? Something small and lightweight, but aero... I swear I have seen ads for them before but when I google for any combination, all I can find are boxy motorcycle trailers, or trailers for the bike itself... I am looking for a way to transport a bicycle with a sports car, but protected from the elements (i.e. no trailer hitch rack, rear rack, etc.). Anyone? Thanks.

Anything else? the lets go aero is $2000 before accessories! I was thinking more like $500-$800... for $2K I can keep an insurance policy on a "bike transport car" for several years.

Try doing a google for "motorcycle cargo trailer". There seem to be several models of small trailers designed to pull behind a motorcycle, but they can alo be pulled behind a car instead. I would imagine that they could be modified to hold a bicycle inside. I also saw some in eBay auctions when searching for "motorcycle trailer"

You maybe could find a used one for a good deal.

good luck
