I have a dim memory of reading how some trailers manage to stuff up people's spokes on their rear wheel.
The bike is an indestructible Chicago built Schwinn Varsity, at least 40 years old. Haven't broken a spoke on it yet in the 10 years I've used it for hauling purposes.

Actually the hitch is attached to the bike frame just ahead of the rear axle.
