Post by: mozar on November 16, 2015, 11:40:38 AM
My mom wants to buy me a bike trailer for my birthday.
Which one would you pick and why?

What are you planning on using the trailer for?

Good question. Maybe some light grocery shopping. Maybe taking some yard debree to the city compost pile.

I have 2 trailers I use DAILY. I have one hooked to the other hooked to my bike. I pull 3-6 kids 1 mile to school daily. I got them both on Craigslist for less than $30 total. They are like bikes in that used is just fine, with tires and wheel bearings being pretty much the only serviceable items. Prove your mustachianism to your mom by selecting a used one from the Internet!

Especially a good idea since its your first and you're not even sure what/if you'll use it for

I would also like it for biking to a local camping site.

This is my compromise. She doesn't believe in mustachianism. I also think that would be too much to ask for her to have to go pick it up. And if I did everything myself it wouldn't be a gift...
