Check your area for bike lanes and bike trails if you are concerned about people seeing you. Also, I've heard from a number of people that trailers get a bit more respect. One, you are larger and two, people know what you've got back there. In the bike communities I've seen, I've never heard of anyone getting hit with a trailer behind them.

Cars have a hard enough time seeing BIKES, much less a 2' tall trailer being towed behind one. I just see them getting run over, that quick. Has anyone seen any safety stats on them?

Don't get me started on the importance of bike helmets... a bike helmet saved my life, protected my brain, and got me a husband! Oh yeah, and make sure these babies have helmets on!

I have to confess that neither Whitney nor I actually own one of these. Whitney's friend does and that is little Julian riding around with his buddy, Paxton. The darn bike trailer things are super expensive, $400+ and very hard to find used... believe me, we've been looking! Based on our primitive research, we'd really like the <a href="http://www.burley.com/products/trailers/defaultfe30.html?p=d'Lite&i=0" rel="nofollow">Burley d'Lite</a>. Try to borrow or rent one and let us know what you think. Julio, It’s funny that you ask… I have to confess that neither Whitney nor I actually own one of these.

NO, WE ARE NOT PREGNANT! But, this summer I'm hoping to take my nephew out on some bike rides with me and thought about getting one of these. Let me know. Thanks!
