Sure, you love riding your bicycle, but when you need to lug something heavy across town, that little basket on our handle bars is not going to help much.  So, rather than reaching for your car keys, why not get yourself a bicycle trailer to help you carry your groceries or whatever else you need to transport, and reduce your carbon footprint at the same time.  Plus, you’ll get plenty of exercise, although I would advise against carrying anything too massive as my friend broke his trailer when he tried carrying an enormous armoire.

Rather than extol the many benefits of riding bicycles, since you can read about them in our previous posts about bikes, I’ll share with you this awesome video featuring Doug Moore, an artist in Somerville, MA, as he builds his bicycle trailers:

How about that wigged helmet? Now that you’ve seen how cool trailers can be why don’t you order one up and use the “Act” section below to find out how you can help get bikes to people who need them in Africa.
