What this is?

 

My 60 day challenge: analyze 60 cargo trailers and write a description of  who this trailer would be best suited for. To be clear: this is an unsolicited breakdown of some interesting trailers that I have seen and photographed at bike rally's, pictures sent to me for contests, or across the web. 

It is a writing experiment for me. If you would like to follow along, help, or be a critic in any way shape or form, please do.

Also, any additional information that you would like to send regarding your trailer would be awesome.

This is Day 9. See you on the other side.

Later,

Karl S
