<\/a><\/div>\n

Last summer I purchased a Burley Nomad trailer. We bought it to carry our beach chairs and ocean junk down to the beach. I also use it for grocery shopping, it can haul a ton. I tried to give my chocolate lab a ride in it, yeah he did not like it! He leaped right out. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Here it is attached to its main ride a beach cruiser. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

It attaches via a aluminum hitch that goes through the rear axle, bolt on or quick release. <\/p>\n

 <\/a><\/div>\n

It slides in  to the hitch and is secured via a pin and has a backup strap that clips to a D-Ring. <\/p>\n

 <\/a><\/div>\n

The whole trailer is covered by an included rain cover. The cover attaches with these large rubber rings which are easy to attach and remove. <\/p>\n

 <\/a><\/div>\n

The large trailer is divided in two sections by a removable screen, which is handy for carrying bags. I imagine i it would be great for bike camping. I have always used my panniers for that. I would much rather use this.<\/p>\n

 <\/a><\/div>\n

The Nomad has  front and rear gates that drop down for easy cleaning or carrying longer loads.And you can tell they did not skip any details, the front and rear flaps have a strip of reflective material that runs the full width of the trailer.<\/p>\n

 <\/a><\/div>\n

You can drop the divider down by removing the support bar. it attaches with large thumb screws. <\/p>\n

 <\/a><\/div>\n

The trailer has convenient pockets for storing things. Once again, I never used it for bike camping, but these would come in really handy for that. <\/p>\n

 <\/a><\/div>\n

This should give you a good idea of the size of the trailer with the divider down. <\/p>\n

 <\/a><\/div>\n
 
<\/a><\/div>\n

The trailer is not totally sealed, you’d need to pack your gear in a dry bag or trashbag if you were bike camping in bad weather. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The Burley Nomad folds down quickly and easily with no tools. The wheels are 16″ with quick releases so that tubes are readily available.<\/p>\n

I used a BOB trailer before, it was nice, different because it had one wheel versus the two on the Nomad. The two wheels make for a really stable trailer.

Travel the world with the Nomad, designed to easily get around with more than just the shirt on your back. Simple organization with a removable partition allows for any size cargo. With its light-weight, sturdy aluminum frame and two-wheel design, the Nomad easily stays upright and is easy to tow or pull by hand when detached from the bike.<\/p>\n
