[QUOTE="David, post: 524719, member: 426"] Hi, just an update. The trailers are marvelous and one cannot know how brilliant they are unless they have tried one. Jenny has been walking with the one I made and I with the Radical Design one. One never has to twist round corners and they are never ever too wide. There is no sense of weight or pulling. No weight on knees or feet. Jenny has arthritic knee and problem foot and has has had zero problems, same for me. No sweaty back, no pain, no stress. It just goes where you go and rides easily over any terrain and that military report shows a reduction of 88% in energy expenditure. We both use small grab bags, tiny shoulder bags, for when we walk away from the trailer with our important items. In hot weather, and it has been hot, we can carry as much water as we want with no extra stress or feeling of weight. I added two tubes to each trailer. One to carry a walking pole but we never have to use them as the trailer gives stability going downhill, and the other to carry an umbrella, which we use daily as sun shades. Oh! And we fitted bicycle bells too!! The truth is this - they are far superior to wearing a pack!! Buen Camino!!! P.s. single wheel trailers don't work well as the weight is equal between the wheel and the hipbelts so the hips/waist is heavy. The design has to be two wheels with the weight over the wheels/axle, then there is zero load on the body. [/QUOTE]
