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.

In front of a stone house with a blue door. The trailers hold bin bags and green crates with another bicycle laid on top

The bike train on a road, carrying rather tall stacks of green crates, as well as other miscellaneous items

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

    I love this, but were there any hills? I can’t see that being possible if there was even a moderately steep hill.

      You’re right, there are not many hills here. Only 1 small one I had to climb. I do think that with low enough gears and enough time, hills won’t be much of a problem.

      You could also do the hill in multiple trips, temporarily leaving one of the trailers behind.

        Hey, that’s exactly the kind of problem solving I was looking for! Very nice idea.

    Impressive! You must have quads of steel.

    Does a trailer add a bit of stability? My better half started having balance problems in the last few years and no longer feels confident riding a bike outdoors. He is also taking blood thinners, so his cardiologist encouraged him to stay on the home trainer. As an ex bike racer, he isn’t enthusiastic about riding a shopper trike or 3 wheeled recumbent either. (A bit of machismo there!) But maybe a trailer would salve his ego.
