Can a bike and trailer be a single articulated vehicle?

I often think of mine as a "rig", I even thought of giving my trailer the name of Diana!

Have you seen dkmwt's pictures of trike and trailer?

The one with ladder is particularly interesting....

Yeah, brilliant!

Been shopping again with mine today, loads of stuff.
I think shopping by bike and trailer is fun, it certainly isn't fun with a car!

Love it too. However the rest of our families do think we have lost the plot and are probably thinking we are about to start living the good life.... (if only Mrs.Wildduck was Felicity Kendall!).

She was voted 'Rear of the Year' some time back.

I never tire of The Good Life, so well written. But they never rode a bike although there was one hanging on the wall of their garage.

You see it in "Tug of the Forelock" when Barbara comes in and rips up cardboard boxes in frustration.
(You have to be a bit of an anarack to know this!)

YES if the trailer has brakes that operate in tandem/are linked with the bikes brakes.
I.E. When you pull on the brakes (usually the rear) it operates the trailer's brakes as well.

I know this is an old post but I've just joined a few days ago.
