My little girl loves rides. Car rides, magic laundry basket rides, toy lawnmower rides...you name it. If it goes, she wants to drive it or ride on it. So we got one of these kiddo trailer thingies. I set it up and attached it to my bike. My bike was like, “Bro, thefuc is this shit?”
I was worried about the safety of it, so I put my bowling ball and a few other things in a back pack and strapped it into the middle of the seat. Then I proceeded to ride the bike as I might on an aggressive mountain trail. Would have loved to see my neighbors faces as they understandably would assume that there was a child in the trailer.
I could not make the trailer slide, or go up on two wheels!...Cool! The only time it seems dangerous is when decelerating quickly. I rode up and came down a big hill (something I wouldn’t do with the kiddo on board). I went fast down the hill and, hit the brakes, and looked over my shoulder, the trailer didn’t swing around, but it looked like it was getting ready to as I let my back tire skid.
Anyway she loves it. We had an unseasonably warm Sunday. There wasn’t enough rain to wash the salt off of the roads so the 02 stayed inside:(
Happy Monday.

I had one almost exactly like that. it seemed fine on paved roads but i wouldn;t want to subject the passenger to anything offroad for the bumps and any shit that might come flying off the trail.

Haha, yes I forgot to mention that. it’s ok when the going is slow and the terrain isn’t rough.

Haha that is so good. I wonder how many people went nuts in the comments like “OMG how could you do that!?”

I’ve almost exclusively seen these bike trailers used by meth enthusiasts/the downtrodden to transport their possessions and stolen goods. 10/10 for safety testing it with a good analogue (bowling ball and misc items in backpack). Bag of flour next time?

That warm weather was pretty excellent considering it’s January in PA, wasn't it? It was a shame that we didn’t get some rain to wash the roads first.

I was gonna take it out anyway and give it a sponge bath after, but when I saw how much shit was on the regular cars, I said...NOPE

The thing about looking at regular cars is you don’t k how if they were last washed yesterday or a month ago. My Fiat looks pretty dusty right now.
I ended up taking my scooter out on Saturday to get it to the mechanic. It's easy enough to clean and if I don't think it got particularly salty anyway.

Thankfully they revealed it was just a doll at the end of the video, probably to avoid that very thing.

I had a burly trailer and towed my daughter all over the place when she was small. I bet I towed that thing thousands of miles. Never had an issue. I did carry flat repair materials tho.

Yea I will have to order spare tubes for the trailer tires. I always carry two for my bike because my MTB riding style is fast and ugly when I’m not with the kiddo.

When the kids get big, the trailer can be repurposed.
