I'm sure someone from Salt Lake City has a picture of the piano trailer that gets hauled out to the farmer's market. It's a custom trailer, and the piano has been customized by chopping off the legs, but it's amazing. Last time we were in SLC, we watched them ride it up into the farmer's market. It has a full on trailer ball hitch that connects to the ball hitch welded to the brake bridge on the bike if memory serves. It did not look like fun on hills.

some quick googling found this:

and I believe the upright bass + trailer at the beginning of the story belongs to a thinktank regular if i'm not mistaken.
