ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to trailers and in particular to trailers for use with bicycles and motorcycles. This trailer will secure belongings inside, protecting them from the elements. The trailer is easily hooked and unhooked in a matter of seconds and is unmatched in its handling ability as it travels behind the cycle or motorcycle. The trailer may be removed 90 degrees relative to the bike when moving or parked. Locking it in such a position while parked prevents it from being wheeled away. The cyclist is a much more visible object on the road due to the added width the trailer provides and the trailer should contain reflectors or lights for added visibility. A pivot assembly allows up and down motion which will enable the trailer to follow undulations in the road or terrain; allows horizontal or sideways motion to enable the trailer to follow left or right turns by the cyclist and prevents rotation in the horizontal axis to enable the trailer to follow the cyclist's lean on corners. The inside of the trailer contains removable compartments and the top opens up to 180 degrees to form a table suitable for eating, writing, reading maps, etc.
