Is that a Wike trailer? If so, how do you like it?
It is a Wike! The only trailers I can compare them against based off of experience are Bikes at Work... and obviously there's no comparing the two. The BAW trailers I regularly used to cart 300+lbs of produce, and the Wike ideally needs to be kept under 100lbs. I had a Wike trailer break on me while hauling rock salt on a winter's day, but when I asked the company about repair suggestions they sent me a new trailer body pretty promptly, so their service is pretty good... I still find myself wishing I had a Bikes at Work or one of the Surly trailers, though.
Yeah, they look like super heavy duty, but the price... ouch! Seems easily justified, though. 300lbs+ is a lot to haul around on a bike.
I've used the Wike City Cargo trailer for a few months now, mostly to take some load off my bike while getting groceries, but I always wish I could haul more! LOL
Since I make every effort to replace car trips with my bike, every useful tool, like a trailer, makes that task so much easier!
