I would definitely suggest letting somebody on your city council and in traffic division know that this setup is dangerous and does more harm than good.
I second the Bob Yak... one wheel is simply easier to ride with.
But, I have been salivating on this new Burley Travoy trailer:

I'd love to rock into a store, load up, wheel it back to the bike and go.
It looks like it has a great little connection system too.
Anyone used one of these... or seen it out in the wild?
I'm going to Eurobike/Interbike in September and going to try and schmooze a deal... I'll report back if I see one in my travels to bike events this fall.
What if while you're sliding up between cars to get to the front of a left turn lane, the light turns green? Suddenly you are stuck between two lanes of moving traffic with no room for error.
Thats where skill comes into play :)
You are probably right, I may think twice about doing this from now on... plus, I do hate rising the ire of our fellow Austin traveler... even if they are just jealous. :)
First of all, welcome to Austin... its a great town.
I'd like to get some clarification on this issue as well. I've done this maneuver for many years in a ton of different cities, but I have never really known about the legality... especially here at home here in Texas. I do this really out of safety purposes... I like to be in front of the cars before the light turns green and because I don't quite like sucking on fumes. Sometimes, I'll hang back if it looks a bit tricky to navigate.
The only problem I see with the maneuver, right or wrong, is that it seems to rile up the ire of some motorists when that "scoff-law" "jumps ahead of line".
