I didn’t even need to bring front panniers, or a rear basket in place of my trunk bag 🤭

The trailer is a Wike City Cargo.

    With cars and trucks, there comes a point at which trailer weight or the ratio of trailer weight to vehicle weight makes it unsafe without trailer brakes. Is that a consideration with bicycles?

      Yes, you can get special bike trailers designed for very heavy and large loads, which come with overrun brakes. Not too common unless you’re hauling stuff by bike as a business. These guys seem to even have e-assisted trailers!

      You also do have to make sure that your weight bias on the bike trailer is done right.

      But it feels very safe, even last night on a moderate, long downhill @ approx. 32km/h. I am slower on turns and when riding over bumps, so you do have you use caution.
