I had to temporarily move out. It took a few trips to move all my belongings.

No electric, so rather slow speed, but thankfully very little traffic here.

2 trailers connected to the bike. The front trailer has a stack of bicycles on it, and the rear trailer has green crates on top of which sits a cat. Another cat walks towards the camera

    How do you get brakes on a bike trailer? Are they all/nothing or can you modulate?

      I’ve never seen it. however I still know that they are needed.

      Thereeare several options, but what is good is an open question. I’d probably look at electronic brakes of some sort first

      I too would like to know, for when I one-day build myself a bike trailer suited for home improvement store hauling. I imagine there’s isn’t an established standard for how linking the brakes would work, but if RVs in the USA are any indication, there would be an electronic brake controller that uses an accelerometer to control the trailer brake. So the input from the lead bike could be a binary signal, and the brake controller figures out what makes sense.

      I would guess.
