Bykaboose
Trailers that can carry large or heavy loads can be correspondingly difficult to store. The Bykaboose is an exception: the nylon-coated body folds down in seconds to form a thin package measuring just 34" x 21" x 3.5" (86 x 54 x 9cm). The frame is made of powder-coated aluminium, and the struts which support the edge of the body have automatic spring tension adjustment. Two 16" nylon wheels with a track of 60cm give excellent stability. The hitch tongue and pin are stainless steel for reliability, with a reinforced rubber tongue providing articulation. The hitch attaches to the rear axle of almost any towing bike, and it's both recumbent and tandem-friendly.

Bykaboose trailers have a recommended load capacity of 110lb (50kg), with 4.5 cubic feet (200 litres) of cargo space. The strong lightweight base and frame structure allow many different types of cargo to be transported very efficiently, and each trailer has a fitted cover to keep your cargo dry. The cargo space rises from a 17" x 28" (43 x 71cm) base to an 33" x 20" (85 x 50cm) rim. The trailer weighs less then 16.5lb (7.2kg) when fully-assembled and can be collapsed completely when not in use. An alternative is the Bykaboose Stubby, which is about six inches (15cm) shorter and correspondingly lighter, making it ideal for touring.

Bykaboose trailers have a unique stainless universal hitching system that is simple, strong and easy to use on any type of bicycle, with no special adaptors or fittings needed. It's also recumbent and tandem-friendly - it'll fit pretty much anything with a left-hand dropout.
