After cycling home from work last night I installed Burley hitches on both mine and my wife's bicycles. We have a used Burley Tail Wagon trailer, Taj picked it up on the side of the road, some of the canvas was torn and a snap is broken, but it is a functional trailer. I have another long term goal, to be able to go camping and touring by bicycle. The trailer tows smoothly behind both of our bikes, the snag came when I went to get off my bike after tooling around on the street for a minute. I had already put in six miles so I was a little tired and I tripped getting off my bike. I must have put a little too much pressure on the rear wheel as I stumbled and bent it. I didn't notice until this morning when I went to ride in to work. After riding a couple of blocks, noticing something was rubbing as I went, I pulled over and inspected the rear tire. It had a definate wobble and was dragging against the brakes as it went around. I rode back home and Taj gave me a ride to work before taking the bike into the shop for repairs. I am hoping that it doesn't take too long, I need to get some more miles in this week!
Update:
Taj took my bike in to Gresham Bicycles and they will have it back to me by tomorrow afternoon looks like. I also had a broken spoke.
