Exciting Trailer

I love my cycle trailer. It's a 'Columbus' - a Danish design of the 1970s, I believe. The size of a car boot, but on a stick!

Instead of getting aching shoulders and sore hands, carrying plastic carriers, I stroll along with everything in the trailer. "Cor, where did you get that?!" people ask.

One use has been taking the recycling materials to the bottle bank and paper bank; then loading up with vegetables from the Farmers' Market. It's good for the garden and doubles as a wheelbarrow, for DIY items, or a trip to the launderette.

If it's too far to walk, I clip the trailer on to the stem of the bike and cycle it there. Some people put camping gear in their trailer, and go off for the weekend. It also goes well with an allotment.
