: Hi Heiko,
: I built one. Actually two, the first one got broke by cows. It's designed as
: more of a hand trolley than a trailer.
: I have some pictures of the new one online, here's the link.
: http://picasaweb.google.com/myksav
: It's not finished yet, I need to make a more effective hitch for my trike.
: I don't have any pictures of it in action.

: I would advise going for a two wheeled trailer rather than a single wheel
: type. A single type does have a narrower track but it has a strong effect
: on your stability with the inertia of a kayak. A two wheeled trailer is
: self balancing.

: The attachment point to the bike has some effects as well. The best point
: would be where the back tyre touches the the road but that's a bit
: difficult to achieve. The next best is an axle mounted hitch, then it's
: the seat-post type.
: The higher the attachment point is, the more effect it has on the stability
: of the bicycle/trike.

: Here's some other links that might help, check out the bamboo trailer link.
