Peter the Pirate Bobbing the Queen’s Jubilee

All hail the bike cargo trailer!

Bike cargo trailers are amazing tools for getting more out of a bicycle -- and keeping you a out of your car. In all their variety, bike cargo trailers are the perfect tools for hauling stuff by bike.

We cover touring, commuting, errands, and generally doing more by bike -- so we don't leave out cargo bikes and conversions.

The topics of bike child trailers and trailer-cycles are covered in our Family Cycling section.

Submit Your Bike Trailer Photos

This blog is about sharing the fun, the utility, and the creativity that bike trailers can inspire. We want photos of how you've used your trailer -- whether it's an off-the-shelf model in a beautiful or interesting setting, or if it's a Franken-trailer customized in a way only you could have conceived.

Photos help to spread ideas, and stimulate discussion. It doesn't matter if you bought from one of our shops or not -- Bike Trailer Shop, Bike Bag Shop and Bike Kid Shop. Your photos and the stories behind them want to be seen and heard.

Peter the Pirate Bobbing the Queen’s Jubilee

London has seen a lot of action rolling through it in the past two years, including Prince William and Kate Middleton’s elaborate wedding, the current summer Olympic games, and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee which took place at the end of July. In the midst of the royal Jubilee, Peter rolled his bike around the country outfitted with the Bob Yak trailer and Vaude handlebar bag, debuted a brand new Greenfield Stabilizer Kickstand, and completed the look with a regal pirate flag to boot. Peter commented that the new kickstand “held the weight with no problem!” Bob trailers and Vaude bags are still currently on sale at Bike Shop Hub.
