It's a bike trailer. There are various models about - ask on uk.rec.cycling
and you might find somebody who's used this particular one.

Our yak bob trailer gets regular use and seems pretty good.

cheers,

I'd rather not, I put a question on uk.rec.cycling once and I have never
come across such a bunch of nerdy rude unhelpful people in my life, well not
since uk.railways. I would be scared to ask them anything.

I can't be bothered to check, but I suspect that instead of asking
something you tried to tell them something and then got upset when
they didn't agree with you. It happens from time to time in any
newsgroup.

If you want the broadest and most informed answer then you should
ask on uk.rec.cycling. If you don't want that then ask here.

Tee hee. You asked a very vague question, got some decent answers and went
off in a strop. The rudest person on that thread appears to be you.

If you take the time to ask your question, respond sensibly when people
asked for clarification and try and avoid being hypersensitive, you'll
actually find things out. Same as on here.

FWIW it appears I was first to reply to you in that thread - I thought it
was a pretty good answer too :-)

The guy suggested asking on uk.rec.cycling and I stated why I wouldn't ask
on that news group.Can you point to the part of my post where I was rude.
uk.diy are generally helpful.

"the guy" was me. Doesn't take much effort to read what you've quoted - I've
left it in ^up there^

Can you point to the part of my post where I was rude.

"Don't bother replying if it is too much trouble."
"On second thoughts I think I'll buy a motor bike."

There was plenty of helpful advice, but you'd apparently gone off in a
strop. Your loss.

have seen them used by cyclists in Europe on camping trips and bigger home
made efforts by window cleaners in city centres so I don't see why not

Not that one, but I've used a different sort of 2 wheeled luggage
trailer and a child trailer.

Yes, I imagine it would be fine for carrying a golf bag. Assuming a
suitable size and weight carrying capacity. If not there are ones with a
higher capacity

You'll find some more options he

http://www.bikesandtrailers.com/bike-trailers/index.html

I have a bit of a preference for a low level mounting by the rear axle.
against mounting up higher behind the seat. Heavier loads can have amore
noticeable affect on the handling and braking of the towing bike. Though
there are advantages - you can have a more useful off bike tow handle
for starters.

I'd also prefer a Aluminium alloy frame rather than steel, a bit lighter
(but given the load, not a really much a deal breaker) not prone to
rusty when the paint gets scratched.

I saw the bike hod but it looks horrendously expensive compared to the
Croozer but might do the job.

I wouldn't touch a bike hod. It'll carry stuff, sure, but other trailers do
it so much better. The attachment point is basically in the wrong place.

I don't have experience of the cargo one, but I have a croozer child
trailer. I'm very happy with it, all the materials appear to be fit
for purpose, its well designed and built, and imo good value compared
to the other offerings in that market.

( *I* don't see that Burley / Chariot are worth the extra cost; but I
do rate the materials / build quality / weight in the Croozer over the
Argos / Halfords etc £~100 ones.)

It looks well made on the web site.
