There's a good article comparing trailers versus Xtracycles over at
"http://www.angusadventures.com/trailers.html", near the bottom
"Trailers Vs Xtracycle".
Of course the best solution is to have both, as each has its advantages.
While the Xtracycle isn't as good as a trailer for hauling cargo, you
can't carry adult passengers in a trailer.
