Now that I have the Ute and a Carry Freedom I hardly use the Donkey. </p> <p>Used to use it for the supermarket run, and have also taken it camping. Powedercoat steel frame, can be used as a hand cart easily, even has a supermarket trolley castor for trundling around shops. Comes with mudguards and a waterproof cover for the ABS plastic 'bucket' that forms the trailer body. One issue is the hitch, a massive bit of steel cantilever which clamps onto the rear stays. Makes it trickier to swap 'twixt bikes than the CF. Still a good trailer but has a tendency to lurch from side to side at speed (doesn't tip over due to 'roll bar' on the hitch). It's great for shopping, picnics, trips to the beach, etc. <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/JAKOBS-WINTHER-Donkey-Classic-Practical/dp/B0064MMMZE">Not cheap either</a>, though I got mine ex-demo for a song. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12223#post-142738 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 10:25:58 +0000 gembo 142738@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The bike hod seems a more straightforward design than the new version, also l liked the A to B picture of the Brompton with what looked like a Brompton tag along and then a bike hod all attached in a line </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12223#post-142737 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 01:56:43 +0000 Instography 142737@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I could see being tempted by a tartan one in an ironic way but the Carry Freedom exists. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12223#post-142732 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 21:07:28 +0000 gembo 142732@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If you go on second claggy cog link you seethe shopper attached to a Pashley without a brooks saddle</p> <p>Dnn, dnn, dnn </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12223#post-142729 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 20:19:17 +0000 wingpig 142729@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>BikeHods pricey but temptingly compact-looking, so I was going to try and get a shot of one via Waitrose's trailer-borrow scheme... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12223#post-142727 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 17:08:16 +0000 Bhachgen 142727@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Bike Hod currently unavailable but they say they are restarting production shortly. I've got an early model which was my Dad's but the hitch is missing. Need to get around to either sourcing one or making one myself (it's a pretty simple design). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12223#post-142624 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 10:46:20 +0000 Claggy Cog 142624@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Here is another link...for the Bike Hod</p> <p><a href="http://www.atob.org.uk/bicycle-trailers/bike-hod-carryall-deluxe/" rel="nofollow">http://www.atob.org.uk/bicycle-trailers/bike-hod-carryall-deluxe/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12223#post-142510 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 00:32:48 +0000 Instography 142510@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>And it has a Carradice bag. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12223#post-142507 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 22:49:25 +0000 Claggy Cog 142507@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>In fact here it is, Bike Hod that is....made in GB and probably costs less then the one listed above.</p> <p><a href="http://www.bikehod.com/bike-hod/" rel="nofollow">http://www.bikehod.com/bike-hod/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12223#post-142506 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 22:43:49 +0000 Claggy Cog 142506@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It is new but some of us older folk may remember a very similar design, at least I do, and it was called Bikehod, and was around in the early 80's...</p> <p><a href="http://www.gearculture.com/goods/burley-travoy-bike-trailer/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gearculture.com/goods/burley-travoy-bike-trailer/</a> </p>
