Are people seriously still struggling with using bike trailers for shopping, or is this just a case of common sense not being so common after all. I mean, come on, its not rocket science to figure out how to strap a few bags of groceries to a trailer and pedal home without losing your load all over the road. And yet, I still see people online asking the most basic questions about trailer stability and weight distribution.
Cant people just use their brains for one second and think about the physics involved in hauling a load behind a bike. Its not like were talking about transporting a small car here, just a few bags of shopping. And another thing, whats with all the whining about bike trailer brands and models, as if the type of trailer you use is going to make all the difference in the world. Newsflash: its not the trailer, its the rider. If you cant even manage to balance a load on a trailer, maybe you shouldnt be riding a bike in the first place.
So, to all you bike trailer newbies out there, heres a question for you: whats the most creative way youve managed to lose your load while shopping with a bike trailer, and how did you eventually figure out how to do it right. And please, spare us the sob stories about how youve been riding for years and still cant get it together, we dont want to hear it.
