The PS rack is great. I wondered if maybe I'd want a basket on it, but
when I get beyond the carrying capacity of my regular bag often I've got
something that wouldn't fit well in a basket: https://flic.kr/p/dYHnKS
I suppose getting a trailer would make Costco runs a bit easier, though!

Hi Shoji,
Thanks for all your helpful feedback and pics. What size is your
Hunqapillar? Do you recall your PBH or saddle height? I like your fat
tire/fender combos. What is the largest tire you've used?
We have a trailer
I used a Burley trailer until about 2 1/2 to 3 yrs old. The Burley Solo
tracks extremely well and never had issues with toppling. I rode over 5000
miles with my kids without incident, but YMMV :). I've heard of the
double-trailers tipping over before.
After the Burley phase I went to a
Hi Jay,
It's a 48cm Hunqapillar, which is designed around 26/559BSD wheels. My PBH
is just under 81, SH is 69-70 for road (low end w/Thin Gripsters, high end
w/GKs).
The largest tires I have are Big Bens, which measure ~52mm, IIRC. There is
room for wider tires w/o fenders.
I've heard that
Not sure how I missed your response Mathew, but I appreciate your feedback.
I agree I could outfit my Xtracycle to work right now, but at 9 years old
several components/accessories need replacing/upgrading to make it a
dependable daily ride. I'm just not sure I want to pump much time and
I'll add my vote for a Burly Trailer. Very safe, you can dump your bike and
the trailer will remain standing. Get the big two kid version rated for
100 pounds. My kids are now riding their own bikes, but I still use the
trailer for cargo runs.

It seems like you're busy filling a gap between now and the not too distant
future when your small person can be trusted to sit on his own in some fashion.
Perhaps one of the trailers like a Burley or a Weehoo?
I can't imagine why you'd get rid of the Xtracycle. Kids on cargo bikes make an

Some nice kid-hauling set ups!
I have my Hunqapillar set up for kid hauling (2-yo and 4-yo). Yepp Mini

trailer. (I'm also an h-bar
Years ago at a tanden rally I saw a bike make a very tight turn, oversrt the
trailer and dump two kids into the road. I rode my daughter in a rear mount
baby seat for years without incident.

Maybe all trailers aren't created equal. And another point is that there
is no substitute for common sense.
