Oh dear...

Just be careful to take into account the extra width.

Don't do what I did and catch one of the wheels on the gatepost going into Travis Perkin's yard.

Just found this: http://www.instructables.com/tag/type-id/category-outside/keyword-Bike/keyword-Trailer/

So I could make my own!

I've got one @ScotiaLass, take the cat to the vet with it and do bulk shopping.
I use a pet trailer, meant for dogs really, can load up to 28 kg.
Wrote a review here.
Mind the trailer hitch, some are not suited for quick release axles.

I thought of doing the shopping on the bike , then thought better of it as shopping is women's work , and sent the wife on the bus whilst i washed an polished the car and bike.

I genuinely laughed out LOUD!!!

Good review, thanks Pat!

I've just started using a trailer. I bought a single seat childs trailer on ebay. All I've done so far is remove the seat. I've used it o tow my sons speedway bike to the track.
Plan to put a ply base in it (the current base is fabric) so can use it for carrying cargo and even the dog if need be.

One of my biggest cycling regrets is getting rid of my Burley twin seat trailer when the kids were too big for it. There are so many times since that I have had to drive or taxi somewhere with a too much to walk with but still small ish load where that would have done the trick. I take a quiet weeks shop (for 5 people) without kids in it & I'm sure the dogs would have loved it too (we didn't have any while the kids were small, they came as the trailer went)
As for towing it: primarily I used my Birdy folder (low gearing via a sram diualdrive 3x8) bit also had it on a bog standard hardtail MTB and cheap Claud Butler hybrid, both geared for general purpose riding rather than really low settings.

They're pretty robust too. I once got the wheel caught in some mini railway tracks (in Heaton Park for the Mancunians) and managed to flip it and throw me off my bike when I turned. The kids were hanging upside down in their seat laughing and asking to do it again.

Heaton Park was at the end of my road when I lived in Prestwich, used to take my little girl there all the time! My little girl is 27 now lol

What kind is yours Cyclopathic?

I've got a rather nice Burley one. It's heavy duty nylon over a very light aliminium frame. What is really nice about it is that it's got quick release wheels and the sides fold down so it can be easily stored on the wall without taking up loads of space. The method of connecting it to the bike is a bit awkward but very secure. It's quite old now so that aspect may have improved..

Thanks Cyclopathic. I'll have a google.

I had a quick look but couldn't see my exact one. Another feature of mine is that the frame goes around the outside of the wheels so that if I do happen to clip something it is more likely to just glance off it. Not that I would clip anything. Ahem.

Obvs! Ta.

My Radical Design Cyclone IV has quick release wheels and folds down flat when not in use. The other advantages to this trailer is that there is a walking position for the wheels. You can also swap the draw bar for a handle, which makes pulling it along by hand a lot easier. Another thing with the cyclone is that in walking mode it can be considered a rather large duffel bag.
