Find a bicycle cargo trailer Online

Bicycle cargo trailers are ideal for carrying loads that you would rather not tilt or lean along with the rest of the bicycle frame.

Well designed trailers are also less likely to have an effect on your riding balance and are very stable when bearing the weight of your cargo.

When you are up on your seat pedaling through an uphill climb while standing, and your physique shifts your bicycle sideways for optimum power, in the process, you are also rocking your cargo trailer together with all your packages laterally. If the bicycle cargo trailer is well designed, you will hardly notice it.

General Information

Features vary widely among bicycle cargo trailers, beginning from its actual size to how they actually carry the load. Some models contain a loading bed that is suspended in between the wheel and the cargo trailer fork. Because of its versatility, you can easily convert it from touring mode to shopping mode. Some models on the other hand are designed to panniers set just like what a rear cargo rack would. But this is not as versatile because its design is only limited for specific types of loads.

Buying A Bicycle Cargo Trailer

Attachment

Most bicycle cargo trailers have a mounting system that can be attached on the bike’s rear axle. This type of design makes the bike’s extension more rotationally coupled and instead of becoming an additional attachment, the cargo trailer is as if part of the bike itself. On the other hand, there are cargo trailers that can be mounted on the seat post but this limits the trailer’s rotation and will be a control hazard for the bike.

Control

When choosing a bicycle cargo trailer, you need to check the attachment system because it will affect the bike’s maneuverability and overall control. A bicycle cargo trailer with a mounting system that can be attached on the bike’s rear axle is the most recommended.

Size

The size of the Bicycle cargo trailer will depend on the purpose you have in mind. For camping and outdoor activity, a longer cargo trailer is required particularly if you plan on bringing a kennel.

Suspension

High end bicycle cargo trailers (like the BOB Ibex) often have shock absorbers. With a better suspension system, it means that you can ride on a rough terrain without your cargo trailer shaking wildly behind. The vibration coming from the cargo trailer will also be lessened which will make your ride more comfortable.

Loading System

Bicycle cargo trailers with flatbeds enable you to directly load your cargo although you may need to strap it down it keep it from falling. It is advised to use a duffel bag for storing the cargo you are planning to bring to keep it intact and water sealed.
