Nine awesome bike trailer concepts that were made to be loved
Cyclists can face a dilemma when they need to take their children along with them for rides. The same can be said for cross country cyclists who find it very hard to carry the heavy saddlebags on the bike racks. Furthermore, a number of companies have started producing versatile bike trailers that can help the cyclist enjoy his/her ride while not worrying about the safety of his/her children or belongings. These are destined to change the future for good. Given below are 9 such trailers that would be a boon for every avid cyclist out there for sure!
1. SPURT
This futuristic-looking bike trailer is actually a seat that can accommodate your toddler with ease. It comes with a floating seat for maximum comfort and is in the shape of a wheel itself. As such, it easily tows behind the bicycle without hindering the cyclist’s maneuverability.
SPURT can also overrun obstacle easily and is the best choice for narrow streets where a wider bike trailer might find it difficult to move around without getting bumped into. The trailer also assures maximum safety of its driver via a supportive strap system and a hard plastic shell casing that covers its entire body. While a self-illuminating cover attracts the attention of nearby motorists, a built in rain cover offers protection from bad weather.

Bragging of a contemporary interior and hardwood floors is the fully furnished Vodafone mobile home. Vodafone in an attempt to endorse its internet wireless services and fixed phones came up with this idea.

The whole idea behind a house on wheels is absolutely wonderful. Tom Kunding, with this project, has tried to kill all the zoning concerns. A person will not even feel that he is living in an RV because of the way it has been shaped. It will give a homely feeling with all the comforts in place. Guest cottages were erected after a thorough analysis by the architect and his clients, as only RV hookups were permitted to take up the land.
