I've been considering a trailer like this http://www.teardroptrailersexpress.c...e+Guy+Trailers to haul my bike for a variety of reasons.

1) He's a Long wheel-base recumbent, and if I let the bike in the car/minivan, he'll want to drive, and, well, no good can come of that.

2) Putting the bike on the back of our Saturn sedan works, mostly, but the bike is longer by a non-trivial amount than the car is wide. This makes me nervous.

3) I can pound nails in the bottom of a trailer and make a secure mount for the bikes.

4) 'Most any car I buy can pull the light sort of trailer I have in mind, I can buy the small sort of car I like With the easy addition of a trailer hitch, I'm good to go.

5) If I don't pound nails into the trailer floor, we might be able to use the trailer as lodging when we get wherever it is we're hauling the bikes to.
