He must have had a heck of a time rounding corners. Neat idea though.

I'm gonna guess that he was single.

That was adorable - and very very cool

He did 1200 miles over 14 days with that bike and that trailer? I want to see his legs!

I got it from the Element Owners Club forum, and someone there posted it from the Tear Drop Trailers forum.
I'm thinking mid-1950s.

I just love the photo overall.
Is that a single speed bike? I don't see any shifters or hand brakes

Definitely looks single speed, probably with coaster brakes.

I showed it to DH and he went bananas over it. He has been stoked ever since he pulled our bike trailer last week with his hybrid - I guess he will be trying to “invent” a new and improved trailer after seeing your post! But only if he comes up with a sleeper for two! Great pic and a great story about an epic adventure!

This would be lighter and a little less terrifying to sleep in
