I don't really ride much, but I would if I had a motorized vehicle... I'm still looking into building a reverse trike moped-dealy. If I do that, I'll put a lynch-hitch on the back of it and also build a small trailer with two wheels to pull behind it.

I had also thought about a single wheeled trailer, but that brings up stability issues when improperly loaded, or objects moving, etc... I'd rather take the penalty for the extra tire all the time, than take the penalty for wiping out at 40 MPH just one time.
If you did the trike,would it's 'tripod' base not allow the 1-wheel trailer to work?
When I pulled the 1-wheeler behind the CRX it was a dream.There wasn't anything I could do to de-stabilize the car.I had not de-raked the fork of the doner motorcycle I used,which caused the trailer to lean during turns.What a riot!
Most amusing were the looks on onlooker faces who witnessed this kinetic ballet.
