Does anyone have any bike trailer recommendations? I have a 3 year old, and another on the way in 8 weeks ( obviously the new baby won't be in the trailer for a year or so ). I'm hoping a trailer might buy me some precious training time on the road bike...

I bought my brother a Burley trailer when he had a little kid. They are probably the best trailers. There are often lots of them on Ebay because people only use them for a short time and they are very well built and will probably last forever.

I towed that thing around a few times though and am glad I don't have kids anymore. That thing was miserable. The only thing worse was his cross-country ski towing rig for kids. You do what you have to do though to ride more.

Burley trailers are great. Towing one 40 lb child around in one is not.

If you look around in Recreational Cycling, you should find at least a few threads on child trailers.

Try to find a used Yakima Caddy-Yak. Yakima stopped making them a few years ago, probably because not enough people were willing to pay more for them.

Mine was well worth it, though.

I thought riding with it was great. Especially when I'd drop someone, which I did quite often. I'd deliberately wear non-bike clothes like a ratty, torn T-shirt, too.
