I'll probably hold out for a bob yak since I might like to use it on longer tour rides as well.

If you already have an investment in panniers, you might check out the Extrawheel. They're particularly good if you are doing mountain biking, because the use a larger wheel (a de facto spare front wheel) which tracks closely to your rear wheel, and goes over obstacles more easily than other single-wheel trailers:

BTW: I had a fun three days in Austin.  I'll be writing about it on Utility Cycling (http://www.utilitycycling.org)

The Travoy remained behind with my friends in Austin.  You may see it in action around town.

I hope to return to Austin soon.

John (and salivating BikeATX)

I'll be passing through Austin this weekend with a Burley Travoy, hoping to find out how an Austin cyclist might react to it.

Seriously.  If you'd like to take a close look, we can figure something out.

Here's an article I wrote on the Travoy recently:

Here's a post I wrote mentioning my trip to Austin:

I brought the transit bags with me, but not the market bags (http://www.biketrailershop.com/burley-a … c-235.html).

Personally, I think it's a great trailer.  Would have been perfect for me when I lived a more urban and single lifestyle--the kind of lifestyle where you only need to carry two or three bags of groceries at a time.
