This is the first test of the front fork model hitched to a bike. I put 40 lbs of weights and a bunch of frame parts in the tub and rode it around on the cobble stone road next to OCBC, took it over the curbs etc. It worked real well — the tongue of the trailer allowed you to turn the bike in both directions as sharply as you could safely turn if the trailer wasn't there. It seemed to add a bit of stability to the bike. I could feel the load on the rough road but it wasn't jerky or bouncy or anything. We will be doing more test rides over the next few days.
