Loving my bike sooo much, I thought wouldn't it be great to do the shopping using it.
I'm not a huge fan of panniers, but they are useful, they just don't hold as much as I want and I don't like the bike handling once they are weighted down.
I use Carradice saddlebags mainly and think they are the mutts..... again they don't hold as much as I would like.
I was looking at being able to carry about £50 worth of Lidl/Aldi shopping . Then I found this trailer.
I love it! It's simple once you have fixed the seatpost towing hitch and put together the trailer (very simple to do) you hitch the trailer up to the bike, cycle to the shop, unhitch the trailer, use it as a trolley, then hitch it back up to the bike and cycle home!
Last week I managed to fit £45 worth of Lidl shopping in there!
Initially it was a bit rattly at the seatpost, but a bit of insulation tape sorted that and the box seemed to bounce a little in the frame, but a bungee strap sorted that! After that, the trailer was brilliant!
It also came with a waterproof cover that is secured via velcro straps and red/amber/white reflectors.
Once full of shopping, it hardly affects the handling of the bike.
All in all I am very pleased with my purchase!
