I do not have a car and use a bicycle as my only transportation. The only thing this really does not work for is when I need to buy bulk dog food (which is by far the cheapest option).
I have been wondering about getting a bicycle trailer for my workhorse commuting bike (a tough oldy Huffy which puts up with the rough roads, salt and general commuting **** and is less likelt to get stolen outside work or home because no one wants a "granny" bike)
But before I even get down to looking at brands and stuff I wonder if anyone can tell me how practical these things are to use? I am worried about it not only for ergonomic reasons but because I am afraid cars will not see it or leave proper room for it.
Does anyone use a bike trailer for routine city/suburban shopping etc and get tell me how well it works? Also do they need to be stored inside as this might be a bit tricky with my current living situation. Are they easy to pull even with heavy loads?
