A bicycle trailer is a motorless wheeled frame with a hitch system for transporting cargo by bicycle. It can greatly increase a bike's cargo capacity, allowing point-to-point haulage of objects up to 3 cubic metres (3000 liters, or 4 cubic yards) in volume that weigh as much as 500 kg. However, very heavily loaded trailers may pose a danger to the cyclist and others, and the voluntary European standard EN 15918 therefore suggests a maximum load of 60 kg on trailers without brakes.

Has the rain-fly been tested in motion in the rain? (Can water get splashed up into it?)
Pop user says: They have hiking trailers or like the Chinese wheelbarrow for moving stuff by hand, kind of like a bike trailer if you want to expand the category to just trailers, I might make a page about it
