I am not sure what type of trailer you are writing of. I have a 5x8 utility trailer that I tow behind my truck when I need to move 30+ bikes at a time. This is extremely useful not only to our program, but also a cooperative in Denver where last year I delivered 240 bikes that were surplus to me and of greater use to them. As for the trailers that you tow behind a bike we have had a handful donated to our program and pass these on to parents who wish to tow their kids when they ride. (Important and little known fact of towing kids:Tthe infants MUST be at least 1 year old to ride in these trailers to prevent brain injury from the jostling around as they ride.)

Hi,
I'm curious how many shops loan out trailers in some form or another.
how many trailer share/rental program are there through advocacy organization? if you have one in your area, please describe it.
If you have general ideas of how often trailers get borrowed in your area, i'd love to hear about that too.
My impression is that a nuimber of these programs exist, but they are under-utilized. I need more data points. help me out.
Cheers. _______________________________________________ Thethinktank mailing list Thethinktank@bikecollectives.org To unsubscribe, send a blank email to TheThinkTank-leave@bikecollectives.org To manage your subscription, plase visit: http://lists.bikecollectives.org/listinfo.cgi/thethinktank-bikecollectives.o...
