I have one.

Pros:

Hitch fits all bikes and is easy to install and getting the trailer
on and off takes all of two seconds.
Wheels and towbar can be taken off and you are left with a big bag
that can be brought as luggage in trains. Helps a lot when you are
trying to bring a 2 meter long recumbent also. As in less hassle from
the trainstaff.
Bumps and such are not transmitted through the trailer to the bike.
The only thing I notice is the added weight.
Spacious and with room for stuff on top if you being a lot.
Stable downhill. (Or I didnt go fast enough ;-) )

Cons:
Since its one big bag it can be hard to keep a good weightdistribution
if you don't fill it completely. Some compartments would have been nice
in those cases.
The reflexes mounted were not the ones required here so I had to sew some
on myself. An option for that would be nice.
Gets dirty fast.

Hope this helps

Mikael

"If you bring a lot" I mean.

I have a cyclone fluid resistance trainer and think it's incredible.
IT's a great, quiet, smooth workout. The faster you pedal, once it's warmed
up, the greater the resistance. My friend has had incredible customer
service
from them as well.

My saw trailer, and read it as trainer. Had to do with going to school
for 3 years
without glasses and with 20/200 vision. I learned to read, by seeing the
shape
or context of words. Unfortunately.... Makes me a speed reader, great
at concepts,
but a terrible speller. It ws third grade before I saw you could see
what channel you were
on from the TV, stars, and other amazing discoveries.

Here it got me into trouble. The recommendation for the Cyclops trainer
is still a great
idea. A trailer I have no experience with. If it's the same company,
great customer
service.
