Should have asked at pl.rec.rowery instead

it works great, indeed. Lots of advantages over regular sacks. Big
wheel performs well on- and offroad. I was riding maybe 20-30
kilometers, half lf this was in city. No problem getting on the curbs
and so, but maneuvering between cars needs some extra attention, need
to remember that the trailer is wider than the bike. No problems with
the fastening fork, it never came loose. The people that allowed me
to borrow the trailer also had no complaints. For sure a way to go
when it comes to big-luggage traveling. When one puts the big yellow
sacks in there is always some room to carry a couple of beer bottles.

I like it! What a brilliant design.

It looks possible for a handy person
to cobble together a homemade version.

My own store-bought trailer is a Leggero Max
(aka "Shopper.") It's not exactly store-bought,
as I obtained it as previously owned but never
used from my bike shop wrench, across-the-lane
neighbour. I slid him a hundred bux for it
and made his day.

I like it because it readily converts into a
shopping cart or wheeled laundry hamper.
Gotta keep other customers at the laundromat
from helping themselves to it, though. It's
a lovely luxury to just spill my clothes out
of the dryer and right into my trailer.

It has solid wheels that seem like they'd
ride harshly, but they surprisingly don't.
But it can be a little bouncy (as a bike
trailer) when it's empty. I don't use it
very often, so when I do, I tend to occasionally
forget it's there -- which is not a good thing.
I should figure out an arrangement by which to
attach blinkies to it.

Anyway, thank you for sharing that extrawheel site.

My trailer has a fabric strip on the back, like a belt loop only
horizontal. Very quick and easy to hook a cheap blinkie to it. It'd
probably be easy to put such a loop on your trailer, if it's fabric back
there. Even if it's not, a strip and a couple of rivets might do the
trick.
