The Bikes-at-Work trailer is known for being an 8' long flatbad bike trailer that can haul huge loads like couches.

What's less well known is that the trailer has a modular design so it can be shortened to 6 or 3 feet. The full 8 foot trailer weighs 47 lbs (21 kg) empty, and is considerably lighter when shorter.

This is how you can maximize the carrying capacity while minimizing the trailer weight. Just slow down for the turns!

Christmas tree recycling by electric cargo bike

Hot: Finding an extra tree on the side of the road and having room to strap it to the bike.

Not: Taking the scenic route home because the weather is "nice" and then having the battery die with 120 lbs (54 kg) of cargo bike + trailer to pedal home.

Tonight I looked up options to attach a Burley Piccolo trailerbike to a Surly and couldn't find anything better than the guide I published on my blog, so I cleaned it up and republished it. My DIY solution lasted 10 years until the kids outgrew it.

I also have a guide for attaching a Piccolo to a . I plan to review and clean that up next!
